“Ride Your Wave”. In this stunningly animated 2020 Japanese film, a 19-year-old Hinako is a passionate surfer who meets firefighter Minato when he rescues her from an apartment fire. They quickly bond and Hinako teaches Minato how to surf. However, tragedy hits when Minato goes surfing during a terrible storm leaving Hinako behind with sadness and a strange psychic connection to her. |

“We are Little Zombies.” Over-saturated with colorful pop imagery, this 2019 Japanese film turns a moment of tragedy into a lifetime of joy. The story centers on four emotionally drained teens who happen to meet at the same crematorium where their respective parents are cremated. These orphaned “zombies” set out on an epic quest to regain their feelings — by forming a rock band. Original songs as catchy as they are idiosyncratic accent a wacky, but always compassionate script |
Tickets are sold separately to each screening. Hibachi Lou’s food truck will be available.
