the fictional town of Koriko, where the film is set, was modelled on Stockholm and Visby in Sweden? The filmmakers were also inspired by Lisbon, Paris, and Milan.
The time has come for teenage Kiki – as befits any reputable witch – to leave her family home and become independent. Together with her black cat Jiji, the girl settles in a seaside town, where she decides to launch her own flying postal service.
Anime master Hayao Miyazaki invites viewers on a beautiful journey into adulthood with the young witch Kiki. In accordance with tradition, thirteen-year-old Kiki leaves home to spend a year in a new city and prove that she is a fully-fledged witch. Armed with a broomstick and a cat by her side, she sets out to find her place in the world. Kiki does not face villains, but the challenges of adult life. Kiki's Delivery Service, an adaptation of Eiko Kadono's popular novel about the teenage witch Kiki, is a universal story about growing up, gaining independence, and discovering one's talents.
The screening will be accompanied by the short film, A Walk into the Afterlife (dir. Jiyun Jeong, 4')
