Tickets are on sale now for Grave of the Fireflies – Based on the retellings of survivor Nosaka Akiyuki, the historical war drama tells the story of Seita and his younger sister Setsuko, two children born at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and now cast adrift in a world that lacks not the care to shelter them, but simply the resources. Brought to you by Academy Award® nominated director Isao Takahata, the emotional tour de force returns to theatres this August for three nationwide screenings. GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment are delighted to continue Studio Ghibli Fest with the 2025 edition which celebrates The Secret World of Arrietty’s 15th anniversary.
Audiences can look forward to Studio Ghibli Fest 2025’s eight-title lineup of films, including The Boy and the Heron, re-entering theatres for the first time since its release. Grave of the Fireflies will be shown in the original Japanese language version with subtitles.
In addition to the full feature, screenings will include a post-film clip from bonus featurette, “Interview with Isao Takahata”. Tickets for Grave of the Fireflies can be purchased online by visiting GhibliFest.com, or at participating theatre box offices (Theatre participants are subject to change).
