Porco Rosso

Better a pig than a fascist.
A soaring adventure from the master of animation.

Step into the golden age of aviation with Porco Rosso, Studio Ghibli’s underrated gem that’s equal parts swashbuckling fantasy and soulful character study.

Set against the backdrop of a sun-drenched Adriatic Sea between the wars, it’s the tale of a former WWI pilot turned bounty hunter who just so happens to be a pig.

A rare theatrical presentation of one of Miyazaki’s most visually rich and emotionally complex works, Porco Rosso delivers breathtaking flight sequences, wry humor, and a haunting melancholy that hits deeper in adulthood than it ever could in childhood.

This isn’t just another Ghibli movie it’s a meditation on identity, heroism, and disillusionment, wrapped in a whimsical package only Miyazaki could deliver.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this rarely screened masterpiece in all its cinematic glory.
