An anime-style illustration of a young person with short brown hair and amber/orange eyes, wearing what appears to be a blue kimono or yukata with red accents. They have a cheerful, smiling expression and are positioned in front of a bamboo fence with lush green foliage in the background. The art style is typical of Japanese animation, with bright, vibrant colors and the characteristic large expressive eyes common in anime character design.

About Colour Box: Okko’s Inn

After losing her parents, Okko goes to live in the countryside with her grandmother, who runs a traditional inn near an ancient spring said to have healing waters. Okko soon discovers there are spirits living there only she can see - not scary ones, but welcoming ghosts who keep her company, play games and help her navigate her new environment.

A beautiful tale from Kitaro Kosaka, who was a key animator on numerous classic films at the venerable Studio Ghibli.

The drop-in workshop begins at 10am in the Performance Studio and the relaxed/subtitled film screening begins at 11am in the Cinema.

Tickets are also available to see the film without the workshop.
