Read full details
Makoto Shinkai's 2011 anime fantasy film *Children Who Chase Lost Voices* (also known as *Journey to Agartha*) comes to Amsterdam's Melkweg Cinema as part of the Kaboom festival. The film follows an elementary school girl and her substitute teacher on a journey to the mythical underground realm of Agartha, a land of the dead guarded by Quetzalcoatls. Shinkai, known for his visually stunning works, weaves a tale of loss, adventure, and the bonds between worlds.
Attendees can expect a cinematic experience that blends Shinkai's signature lush animation with a story inspired by Japanese mythology and coming-of-age themes. The screening offers a chance to see this lesser-known gem from the director of *Your Name.* and *Weathering with You* on the big screen, accompanied by the festival atmosphere of Kaboom, Amsterdam's animation and comics event.
