A 4K restoration of the 1995 Studio Ghibli film
Whisper of the Heart (耳をすませば) will play in Pittsburgh on April 21.
A chance encounter with a mysterious cat sends Shizuku, a girl with her head in the clouds, on a quest for her true talent. Together with Seiji, a boy determined to follow his dreams, and enchanted by The Baron, an antique cat figurine who guides her to listen to the whispers of her heart, Shizuku embarks on a life-changing adventure that takes her beyond the boundaries of her imagination. Based on a screenplay and storyboards from Hayao Miyazaki, WHISPER OF THE HEART is a precious gem in the Studio Ghibli catalog, directed by veteran animator Yoshifumi Kondo.
It plays locally so far at the AMC Loews Waterfront, but there will likely be additional dates and theaters announced later.
