Anime film screenings at the British Museum in London

Following on from our earlier story about a free Naruto screening in London, fans should keep their calendars free on the following dates, as the British Museum will be offering free or very cheap screenings for some excellent movies. The titles marked as free have no entry fee, however booking is required. The other titles are priced at less than the cost of an average coffee in London, with all movies priced at £3 and concessions £2. This forms part of their Manga to Anime for Families season.

Full Story

Details as follows:

• Naruto the Movie: Ninja clash in the land of snow - Saturday 28th July 2007 at 2:30pm Free


• Porco Rosso - Saturday 4th August 2007 at 14.30pm Free


• Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind - Saturday 11th August 2007 at 14:30pm Free


• Phoenix 2772 (Space Firebird) - Friday 7th September at 6:30pm


• Barefoot Gen - Thursday 13th September at 6:30pm


• Akira - Friday 14th September at 6:30pm


• They Were Eleven - Friday 21st September at 6:30pm Free


• Ghost in the Shell: SAC Solid State Society - Friday 28th September at 6:30pm Free


• Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence - Saturday 29th September at 2:30pm

In all cases we advise booking to avoid disappointment. We always recommend Studio Ghibli movies, so Porco Rosso and Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind are must sees. We're certainly intrigued by the Phoenix 2772 (Space Firebird) screening as previously we believe it's only been shown on the UK dubbed (extremely badly at that), and VHS copies of the dub are incredibly hard to find.
