Description:
Paprika
Prepare to enter the realm of fantasy and imagination - where reality and dreams collide in a kaleidoscopic mindscape of sheer visual genius.

Steamboy
An action-adventure epic anime feature from director Katsuhiro Otomo about a young, brave boy who must save London from destruction.

Tekkonkinkreet
From the animation studio that brought you The Animatrix comes this visually stunning anime film based on the popular Japanese manga written by Taiyo Matsumoto. In Treasure Town, life can be both gentle and brutal. This is never truer than for our heroes, Black and White, two street urchins who watch over the city, doing battle with an array o old-world Yakuza and alien assassins vying to rule the decaying metropolis.

Memories
Created by celebrated anime master Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Roujin Z), Memories consists of three dazzling stories, each delivered with its own astonishing style - "Magnetic Rose," directed by Koji Morimoto, Tensai Okamura's "Stink Bomb" and Otomo's own "Cannon Fodder."

Notes:
Memories is subtitled-only.
