Heading up VIFF’s spring break programming is Beyond Ghibli, a new eight-part film series celebrating some of the most creative and expressive anime to come out of Japan in recent years. Then, starting March 23, VIFF is presenting two outstanding 40-minute nature documentaries for families, both previously released only to IMAX theatres.
Rounding out the season is Uproar, a coming-of-age comedy starring Julian Dennison and Rhys Darby.

On-Gaku: Our Sound
Like many others before them, a bunch of hopeless teen slackers with no musical schooling or demonstrable talent decide to form a band and enter a local festival... Seven years in the making, this deadpan lo-fo indie gem hits all the right notes.

Promare
The Mad Burnish mean to set the world on fire -- it's down to Galo Thymos and "Burning Rescue" to save the day... Delirious action-fantasy, anime-style. "An exciting cacophony of flames, robots, chiselled torsos and ridiculous catchphrases." Little White Lies

Blue Giant
Revered pianist Hiromi Uehar composed the score for this electrifying jazz anime, a film that makes no apology for its obsession with the sound and fury of musical ferment. It's the story of a young saxophonist determined to make it in the big league.

The First Slam Dunk
Taking place entirely during a high school championship basketball game, interrupted by flashbacks which illuminate the players' lives, Inoue's film is a dazzling sports movie, and another example of how versatile and accomplished the anime world is.
