Get the answer to our In The House question for Akira!

At Friday’s In The House screening of the classic anime film Akira, held at Sydney’s Event Cinemas on George Street, we asked the audience the following question:

akira-question

And today we bring you the answer!

The reason was quite a simple one: because it was almost entirely set at night.  Typically, night settings are a rare find in animation due to the increased demand in colours. But this is just part of what makes Akira such a fantastic film: there’s nothing routine about any aspect of what happens on the screen, and animators went above and beyond to make every frame a unique experience.

The third season of In The House officially kicks off at Event Cinemas on George Street in September, with films like The Goonies, Close Encounters, a Christmas screening of Die Hard and more. For more details head to: http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/Cinema/George-Street/InTheHouseSeason3
