One of the five films nominated by the Academy of Motion Pictures for Best Animated Feature! 

The world is a perplexing, peaceful mystery to Amélie until a miraculous encounter with chocolate ignites her wild sense of curiosity.

Moving beyond a traditional narrative, directors Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han gently explore the wonder and disorientation of childhood. Moments as small as tasting white chocolate, hearing a mother’s voice, and seeing one’s reflection for the first time become epic revelations in this cinematic meditation on memory and its lingering traces.

1958 Japanese film Giants and Toys (巨人と玩具) at Pitt, February 4.

The University of Pittsburgh's Asian Studies Center will present a screening of the 1958 Japanese film Giants and Toys (巨人と玩具) on February 4, part of this term's Asia POP series of events. A 2021 New Yorker synopsis:

The heartless pressures of corporate life and the giddy wonders of its mass-media creations merge in the Japanese director Yasuzo Masumura’s derisively satirical 1958 melodrama “Giants and Toys” (streaming on Amazon). The story involves three big candy companies and their duelling ad campaigns. Goda (Hideo Takamatsu), a ruthless manager at World Caramels who’s also the boss’s son-in-law, turns an eighteen-year-old taxi dispatcher named Kyoko (Hitomi Nozoe) into the company’s spokesmodel—for a publicity scheme, aimed at children, featuring spacesuits and ray guns—but she fights for independence as her stardom quickly outshines the product. Meanwhile, Nishi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi), Goda’s right-hand man, finds his personal life—his friendship with one competitor and his romance with another—falling prey to intrigues of corporate espionage. Masumura fills the movie’s sleekly modern settings with splashily colorful costumes and knickknacks, and his sharply inflected images exalt the hard-edged forms of industrial design. Yet the turbulent, teeming drama lampoons Japanese society over all—its Americanized habits and the endurance of oppressive traditions, the unreasonable power of nepotism and the pointlessness of rational bureaucracy—and scathingly, sardonically leaves its striving workers no way out.

The event starts at 6:00 pm in 205 Lawrence Hall (map).

2025 Chinese film Resurrection (狂野时代) in Pittsburgh, January 17 - 28.

The 2025 Chinese film Resurrection (狂野时代) will play in Pittsburgh from January 17 through 28.

Unfolding over five chapters that feature a dazzling array of styles, Resurrection is a cascade of imagery united by a luminous mythopoetic conceit: in a sci-fi-coded world where people have lost the desire to dream in the hopes of prolonging life, rogue “fantasmers” continue to stoke their imaginations and exist within unreality. From this magical premise, the film sends its ever-morphing protagonist (Jackson Yee) through a series of genres, from Méliès-inflected silent fantasy to wartime thriller to con-artist buddy picture to millennial vampire romance—the latter depicted in one of Bi’s customary, and ever astonishing, single takes. Even within genre parameters, the director never takes the road well-traveled, offering jolts and marvels around every corner. Resurrection is one of the most audacious and ambitious gifts for cinematic thrill-seekers in many a moon.

It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District (map) and tickets are available online.
