Kids' Flicks with Feelings

  • Family and kids
  • Film

These spring school holidays, ACMI is screening two heartfelt Studio Ghibli films led by remarkable heroines. Whisper of the Heart follows a bookish teen chasing her creative spark, and The Cat Returns sends a kind-hearted girl into a fantastical feline kingdom.

Each session opens with a curator-led chat on emotional intelligence, and afterwards families can take home an activity kit for curious minds.
