London Film Festival Screen Children Who Chase Lost Voices • Anime UK News

The U.K. Premiere for Makoto Shinkai’s latest film, “Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below” will take place at the London Film Festival in October.

Asuna is a girl who spends her days listening to mysterious music coming from the crystal radio, a memento she received from her father. She embarks on a journey in the underground realm of Agartha which some believe has the properties of bringing people back from the dead. With a brave young man named Shun, Asuna will see the cruelty and beauty of the world as she evades dangerous beasts and and a ruthless group of soldiers from her world.

The screenings will take place on Tuesday the 18th of October at 18:15 p.m. at the BFI Southbank Cinema and Saturday the 22nd of October at 12:45 p.m. at the Vue West End cinema in Leicester Square.

Film tickets can be booked online or by telephone (0207 9283232) by BFI members from the 19th of September, and by the general public on the 26th of September. The BFI Southbank screening costs £10.50, and the Vue West End screening is £14. Judging from the line up of films at the festival it might be worth signing up for BFI membership which costs £40 allowing priority bookings and other benefits.
