From beloved director Mamoru Hosoda (Belle), Wolf Children is a sweeping tale about self-discovery and the bonds of family. Screening in remastered 4K in advance of the December release of Hosoda's new film Scarlet.

College student Hana falls in love with a “wolf man” and together they have two half-human, half-wolf children, Ame and Yuki. The young family’s happy but humble life comes to an abrupt end when the father is tragically killed during a hunt. After struggling to raise her children in the busy city, Hana boldly decides to move to a dilapidated house in the countryside, in hopes that her children may one day decide their own path to happiness – whether “human” or “wolf.”

The English language dub version will screen on Sun 17 August, and the original Japanese version with English subtitles will screen on Tues 19 August.

"The film works as the simplest of fairy tales, so scrumptious you'll want to devour it whole." - Charlotte O'Sullivan, London Evening Standard
