Art of Anime: From Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosoda, Makoto Shinkai and many more, anime filmmakers have captivated imaginations around the globe and furthered the art of animation and film. Art of Anime is a screening series that celebrates anime films, classic and new, on the big screen.
Set in 2071, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie expands the beloved anime series' universe with a thrilling cyberpunk noir story. Cocky Spike Spiegel and the crew of his spaceship, Bebop, an intrepid band of bounty hunters, land on Mars chasing an enormous cash reward. The four-person team, also including looming cyborg Jet Black, fearless Faye Valentine and tech expert Edward, are in search of ex-military officer Vincent. The former hero has become a biological terrorist with an arsenal of devastating nano-bots that he'll let loose on Alba City on the night before Halloween if his demands aren't met.
Released in 2001, the film is a visually stunning extension of Cowboy Bebop, one of the most influential anime series of all time and a cultural milestone in both Japan and the global anime landscape.
The English dub of the film will be screened.
