Ghost in the Shell – 35mm

Norwich Lanes

Experience an anime landmark on 35mm.

Step into the futuristic world of Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell with a special 35mm screening presented as part of Norwich Film Festival.

In 2029, the boundaries between human consciousness and artificial intelligence have become increasingly blurred. Cyborg government agent Major Motoko Kusanagi and her fellow agents from Section 9 are on the trail of the Puppet Master – a mysterious and dangerous hacker capable of infiltrating human minds. As the team races to capture this elusive entity, Kusanagi begins to question her own identity and what it truly means to be human.

Based on Masamune Shirow’s acclaimed manga, Ghost in the Shell became a landmark of Japanese animation following its release in 1995. Combining spectacular action, extraordinary hand-drawn animation and a hauntingly atmospheric world, the film explores powerful questions about identity, consciousness and our relationship with technology.

Its influence can be felt across decades of science-fiction filmmaking. For anime fans, sci-fi lovers and anyone who appreciates cinema on film, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of the genre’s most iconic works projected from 35mm.
