Japanese Film - Laputa Castle in the sky

Come along to our free Japanese Film night, co-organised with the Japan Foundation, Sydney!

It's a world out of time. A world where a young boy's dreams soar as high as the mythical floating island known as Laputa. Pazu's dreams are about to be realised, when Sheeta, a young princess and government escapee, floats down from the skies, saved only by a mysterious, glowing pendant—a pendant comprised of Levitation Crystal, the supposed power of Laputa itself!

Now, pursued by pirates and Secret Service agents alike, Sheeta and Pazu seek the fabled island to fulfill Pazu's dream quest and learn the secrets of Sheeta's clouded heritage.
