Film Screening by Chicago Int'l Film Fest: Poupelle of Chimney Town

The Chicago International Film Festival's free summer screenings present Poupelle of Chimney Town ("Entotsu machi no Puperu"). Directed by Yusuke Hirota, this animation film is the breathtaking story of young Lubicchi and a man made of garbage, Poupelle. Living among the thick smoke from the chimneys of his isolated town, Lubicchi yearns to see the “stars” — to know the truth — his father always told him about. Adapted from the bestselling picture book, Poupelle of Chimney Town is filled with inspiring performances and splendid music and sound effects and produced at Tokyo’s famed STUDIO4ºC. Japanese with subtitles.

Location: Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St., Chicago

Time: 6:30 pm
