The newest and possibly the last ever feature from Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli is a sweeping story of friendship, mystery, and discovery that delivers stirring emotions and breathtaking animation.

When Anna moves to the seaside to live with her aunt and uncle, she stumbles upon an old mansion surrounded by marshes and the mysterious girl named Marnie who lives there. The two girls instantly form a unique connection and friendship that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. As the days go by, a nearly magnetic pull draws Anna back to the Marsh House again and again, and she begins to piece together the truth surrounding her strange new friend.

Based on the young adult novel by Joan G. Robinson and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi (The Secret World of Arrietty), When Marnie Was There features moonlit seascapes, a glowing orchestral score, and powerful dramatic portrayals that build to a stormy climax.

Please note that doors open 30 minutes before the advertised start time.
