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).

Students: €5

This October, as a gentle opposition to the season’s darkness, we invite you to step away from the horror and enter the world of Hayao Miyazaki. Through a selection of documentaries and two timeless Studio Ghibli masterpieces, our programme highlights the artistry, imagination, and enduring influence of one of cinema’s visionaries.

As part of our Late Night Anime series, we are proud to present one-night-only screenings of two exceptional titles - Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. The former is an epic tale of gods, humans and the balance between nature and industry. While the latter takes the audience through a journey filled with spirits and incredulous transformations.

Accompanying these cinematic treasures are documentaries that peel back the curtain on Miyazaki himself, offering a glimpse into the man whose mind forever changed the world of animation: Miyazaki: Spirit of Nature and Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron.

Miyazaki’s work is instantly recognisable! And behind every frame lies the mind of a director who shaped modern animation, effortlessly blending folklore, philosophy, and nature themes.

Join us to rediscover or perhaps encounter for the first time the magic of Miyazaki.
