LATE NIGHT: ANIME
ALWAYS LATE. ALWAYS FUN.
Our Programmer Thomas about LATE NIGHT: ANIME
After the sold-out success of The Wondrous World of Ghibli, Filmhuis Den Haag proudly continues its new monthly series: Late Night: Anime — a celebration of Japanese animation, where it belongs — on the big screen.
From cult classics to fresh premieres, from psychological thrillers to tender tales: anime in all its forms.
Always late. Always in Zaal 2 (not really always, though).
