May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness month. Supporting the efforts and advocacy of Cystic Fibrosis Canada is a cause that is very close to our hearts at The ByTowne. All proceeds from this screening will support our team’s fundraising efforts at the 21st Walk to Make CF History on May 31st!
Perfect for audiences of all ages, Ponyo centres on the friendship between five-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Ponyo, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After a chance encounter, Ponyo yearns to become a human so she can be with Sosuke.
As to be expected with Miyazaki, the film is awash in pure unbridled imagination and visual wonder — but it is the tender love, humour, and devotion exhibited by Ponyo and Sosuke that form the emotional heart of the film.
Note: the following screenings will be dubbed in English.
Thank you to GKIDS Films for this screening!
