Opening Night for The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
Details
Come check out the Chicago premier for Princess Kaguya, the latest film from Studio Ghibli cofounder Isao Takahata. We're attending the 7:45pm show on December 5 at the Gene Siskel Film Center. This film has been well-received all over the country, so we hope you'll join us for a night at the movies!
Update 12/4
If you have a ticket: the group will gather in the lobby starting at 7:15pm and grab seats at 7:35pm.
If you do not have a ticket: Tickets are sold out. There's space available for the 6pm English dub tomorrow, but there are no official plans to attend that screening as a group. Others have expressed interest in attending a different showing next week. We'll keep you posted here.
Update 11/30
Seen the film? Join us after the film at State & Lake Tavern for drinks and discussion! This venue is a cash bar with food offerings.
Update 11/23
We will also be watching ISAO TAKAHATA AND HIS TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA at 5:30pm on December 28. This companion film chronicles the seven-year effort to complete The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Show your ticket stub or receipt at the box office and this making-of film will only be $4. We don't know how large the theater will be, so grab your tickets early (http://genesiskelfilmcenter.pfestore.com/capacity/events/8c495096-158b-4c94-a5ff-9b083dfcaaab.aspx) if you are worried about a sold-out show.
