A free Ghost in the Shell double feature celebrating the film’s
30th anniversary, alongside a special merch release and the opening of the
Ghost in the Shell exhibition in Tokyo.

GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995)

Run Time: 83 minutes

2029, Hong Kong. In a hyper-networked cityscape, Major Motoko Kusanagi hunts
the Puppet Master — an elusive, self-aware virus capable of hacking human
consciousness. A paranoid cyberpunk landmark, Ghost in the Shell blends
political intrigue, philosophy, and cutting-edge animation into a meditation on
identity, technology, and the limits of the self.

Mamoru Oshii’s breakthrough feature became an international cult classic and a
foundational influence on modern sci-fi, including the Wachowskis’ Matrix trilogy.

GHOST IN THE SHELL 2.0: INNOCENCE (2008)

Run Time: 100 minutes

Set several years later, Innocence follows Batou as he investigates a
series of violent crimes involving malfunctioning gynoids — sex robots whose
corrupted “ghosts” blur the line between machine and human. More abstract and
philosophically dense, Oshii expands the world of Ghost in the Shell
into a dreamlike cyber-noir, layering baroque visuals with questions of
consciousness, embodiment, and artificial life.

A visually sumptuous sequel that pushes the franchise deeper into existential territory.
