In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms – a treasure that she believes is an angel’s egg. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream. At first it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two. Then, one night, the boy crushes her precious egg. Forty years after the film’s original release, GKIDS is proud to present an all-new 4K restoration of the film, which is being supervised by director Oshii, in cinemas nationwide for the first time next year. First released directly to home video in 1985, the film is a creative collaboration between internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), who wrote and directed the feature, and revered artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D). The film beautifully intertwines Oshii’s thematic reflections on philosophy and theology, with Amano’s distinctive ink painting style, culminating in an arrestingly beautiful hand-drawn allegorical fantasy.

As Goes The South depicts a new generation of community leaders, policymakers, and artisans working collectively to address outdated narratives about their community. This hopeful and visually rich narrative illustrates that Birmingham's journey - like many other cities in the South - isn't just about local progress; it's a story of resilience in the face of state-sponsored opposition that has always been an inspiration to the nation. It’s time to remind people, in 4K, that if Birmingham and the South can win, America can win. Stay after the film for a talkback discussion with Dan Williams, President & CEO of the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau for the 3:30pm screening, Kimberly Speights, Executive Director of Community Kitchens of Birmingham for the 5:30pm screening, and Deon Gordon, President & CEO of TechBirmingham for the 7:30pm screening. This is a pay what you can screening. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Community Kitchens of Birmingham in support of food resources for Birmingham families.

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer. He’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing -- the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford where they team him up with the inexperienced, puppy-like policeman Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). Together the two find trouble where no one imagined it could be.
