Alongside each screening we’ve organised a little something extra; quizzes, short-films, expert talks discussions and much more.

Satoshi Kon’s astonishingly inventive, bewilderingly energetic and utterly brilliant Paprika is like nothing you have ever seen before.
In the near future a new technology allows the treatment of psychiatric patients by permitting doctors to enter into their dreams and explore their subconscious. Doctor Chiba, one of those involved in the project starts to use the technology illegally outside of the lab, in particular to help Detective Konokawa with a recurring nightmare he suffers from. Her alter-ego Paprika is able to freely travel through the dream world when connected.
When an unknown ‘dream terrorist’ steals the technology a spate of deaths follow and Chiba, Konokawa and their colleagues must track down the culprit before they are able to complete a new invention: one that will allow the real world and the dream world to merge.
Said by many to one of the main inspirations behind Christopher Nolan’s Inception, Paprika is visually stunning, and superbly directed. It is regarded by many to be one of the best animated films of all time.
“Rarely has [cinema] been more visually dazzling...Paprika makes you see things differently.”
