Wes Anderson returns to our screen with this stunningly crafted stop-motion animation that is richly imagined, drily witty and, finally, barking mad.

Taking a generous helping of inspiration from the great Akira Kurosawa, Anderson’s delightful adventure is set in a dystopian future Japan. Atari Kobayashi is the12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by executive decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage dump called Trash Island, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard dog Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire prefecture.

Doors open 30 minutes before film start time.

Even if a screening is sold out, tickets are often available 30 minutes before the start of the film at the box office.
