From the celebrated Academy Award®-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda and Studio Chizu, creators of Mirai, Wolf Children, Summer Wars, and more, comes a fantastical, heartfelt story of growing up in the age of social media.
Suzu is a shy, everyday high school student living in a rural village. For years, she has only been a shadow of herself. But when she enters “U”, a massive virtual world, she escapes into her online persona as Belle, a gorgeous and globally-beloved singer. One day, her concert is interrupted by a monstrous creature chased by vigilantes. As their hunt escalates, Suzu embarks on an emotional and epic quest to uncover the identity of this mysterious “beast” and to discover her true self in a world where you can be anyone.
Screenings will be introduced by exhibition curator Christopher Bolton, Williams College Professor of Comparative and Japanese Literature.
All screenings are open to the public and admission is first-come-first serve, with tickets courtesy of Williams College Museum of Art. Repro Japan is on view at the Williams College Museum of Art through March 19, 2022.
