"Angel's Egg synopsis:

In a decaying city, a little girl takes care of a large egg which she believes was laid by an angel, and crosses paths with a gun-toting young man searching for a bird he saw in a dream.

Returning for its 40th anniversary, we are thrilled to have the Director-approved 4K re-release of 1985's Angel's Egg coming to our screens. An early insight into the creative talents of writer-director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D), this cult classic science-fantasy anime is not to be missed.

This screening will be introduced by Paul Farrell, Film Curator."
