Acclaimed anime director Mirai of the Future.
The "Mirai of the Future: Mamoru Hosoda's World Beyond Time Since The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" exhibition will open on July 25 and run until September 17. The Studio Chizu Shop will also sell original merchandise at the event.
Mirai of the Future opens in theaters in Japan on July 20. The film's story centers around a family living in a small house in an obscure corner of a certain city — in particular, the family's spoiled four-year-old boy KUN-chan. When KUN-chan gets a little sister named Mirai, he feels that his new sister stole his parents' love from him, and is overwhelmed by many experiences he undergoes for the first time in his life. In the midst of it all, he meets an older version of Mirai, who has come from the future.
Haru Kuroki is Mirai-chan.
Hosoda is directing the film at his Studio Chizu, and is also credited as scriptwriter and for the original story. Yūichirō Saitō is also returning from Hosoda's earlier films.
The film will compete at The Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June.
