Tickets are $ 10 ($7 for all Modern members). Cinephiles who plan to enjoy the weekend ’s entire selection of films will receive a discount for pre-purchasing all their tickets at once. Tickets are available online at www.themodern.o rg/films or by visiting the museum’s admission desk.  \nAll films were chosen with the guidance of anime and manga expert Dr. Marc Hairston\, who will introduce the films and be available for Q&A. A professional space p hysicist\, part-time anime scholar\, and Fort Worth native\, Hairston has hosted annual Japanese animation festivals at the Modern since 2012. He is one of the founding editors of Mechademia\, the first academic journal f ocused on anime and manga studies\, and has written numerous scholarly art icles about anime. With Dr. Pamela Gossin\, also at UT Dallas\, he has co- authored two books about anime and manga aimed at high school-age readers:  Cultural Guide to Anime and Manga (2023) and Exploring Anime and Manga (World of Art) (2024). \nSCHEDULE \nAdolescence of Utena\nSeptember 18\, 7 pm \nAdolescence of Utena (1999) is a stand-alone feature film version of the groundbreaking TV series Revolutionary Girl Utena. Not a typical sc hoolgirl\, tomboyish Utena Tenjo arrives at Ohtori Academy determined to b ecome the prince who saves the damsel. Once there\, Utena finds herself em broiled in a strange series of ritual duels to win the hand of the mysteri ous student Anthy Himemiya\, known as the “Rose Bride.” As the story u nfolds\, both Utena and Anthy must discover the school’s puzzling secret s while fighting for their own personal freedom. Director Kunihiko Ikuhara presents a beautifully surreal story\, mixing exciting visuals and operat ic rock music. As the first mainstream yuri (girls’ love) anime film in Japan\, Utena has long been a cult classic within the LGBTQ community.  \ nParental discretion advised: this film contains adult themes and slight n udity\, which may not be suitable for younger viewers. \nTrailer: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZlqkPaKYP8 \nThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time \nSe ptember 19\, noon \nThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006): In honor of it s twentieth anniversary\, the festival is pleased to bring back a classic anime\, the Japanese Academy Award-winner The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. The first major film by Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children\, Belle) is based on a well-known science fiction story by Yasutaka Tsutsui (author of Paprika ). The film tells the tale of high school student Makoto Konno\, who disco vers she has the ability to go back a few minutes in time to correct a mis take. At first\, her “time leaping” is a great benefit\, but when the fates of her two best friends are at risk\, Makoto discovers it comes with a high price. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boZINHGDxMw \nCh aO \nSeptember 19\, 2 pm \nChaO (2025) is set in the near future\, in an a lternative Shanghai where humans and merpeople share a tense and uneasy ex istence. An engineer\, Stephan\, is trying to develop a water propulsion s ystem that is safe for fish and merpeople. When an accident causes him to meet ChaO\, the princess of the merpeople\, she immediately proposes to hi m. Although he recognizes that this union would ease tensions between the two groups\, Stephan is uncomfortable dating a human-sized fish—even if she does transform into a more human shape\, depending on her mood. Thus b egins STUDIO 4°C’s sweet and goofy romantic comedy\, as the two lead ch aracters try to overcome their species differences and learn that love is more than skin- (or scale-) deep. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=Cc6VyTu_SH0 \nThe Last Blossom \nSeptember 19\, 4 pm \nThe Last Blossom (2025): Director Baku Kinoshita and writer Kazuya Konomoto\, the team who brought us the wonderfully offbeat anime series ODDTAXI\, pair up again t o bring us the quirky film The Last Blossom. Yazuka henchman Atkutsa is on his deathbed in prison and discussing his life story with an unusual crea ture: a talking balsam flower growing in a tin can. In flashbacks\, Atkut sa recounts his career in crime and argues that his main motivation in lif e was to care for his found family—Nana\, the single mother he lived wit h\, and her son\, Kensuke. The flower (an offshoot of plants that used to grow in their yard) derides him\, telling him that he has lived a pathetic life. Atkutsa holds out for redemption\, cryptically repeating “it’s not over until the last move.” Viewers who experience that last move wil l see why The Last Blossom won both the Jury and Audience Awards at the 20 25 Scotland Loves Anime Festival. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=q9W_wlUgt_8 \nChildren Who Chase Lost Voices \nSeptember 20\, 11:30 am \nChildren Who Chase Lost Voices (2011): One of director Makoto Shinkai’ s (Your Name and Suzume) earlier works\, this film tells a fantasy story a bout Asuna\, a young\, introverted girl. When she is attacked by a strange creature\, she is saved by a boy from the alternative world of “Agartha \,” who then falls to his death. Asuna turns to her teacher\, Mr. Morisa ki\, and together they begin the search to find this mysterious alternativ e world that may\, or may not\, be the land of the dead. The film explores a recurring theme in the director’s work\, including his later blockbus ters: searching for what is lost. Shinkai’s gorgeous and luminous animat ion shines throughout the film. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =yxwVJbhqD64 \nCocoon: One Summer of Girlhood \nSeptember 20\, 2 pm \nCoco on: One Summer of Girlhood (2025): In the last days of the Second World Wa r\, the US invaded Okinawa. The fighting was fierce\, as US troops tried t o capture the entirety of Japan’s southernmost island. A group of 200 Ja panese high school girls\, known as the Himeyuri Gakutotai (Lily Princess Student Corps)\, had been “volunteered” to help Japanese Army medical units in the island’s many caves. But as the chaos of the frontline figh ting took over\, the girls were dismissed and told to go home—a near-imp ossible task in the midst of a battlefield. Animation studio Sasayuri\, fo unded and staffed by Studio Ghibli alumni\, presents the beautiful and hea rtbreaking story of two schoolgirls\, San and Mayu\, as they struggle to s urvive through the final days of the war. \nParental discretion advised: this film includes depictions of death\, violence\, and attempted rape\, a s well as some images of blood\; it is not recommended for younger viewers .  \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=389ClHbs25c LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T062958Z LOCATION:Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, 3200 Darnell Street\, Fort Wort h\, 76107\, United States URL:https://whatsupfortworth.com/event/anime-at-the-modern-film-festival/? utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dallas-tx X-SOURCE-NAME:What's Up Fort Worth?

Clara remembers the night a young boy knocked on her door after 10:30 p.m. in search of food. She was aware of the difficulties fami lies encounter in meeting basic needs because she was a working single par ent. “God showed me that I had to do something for the kids in the commu nity\,” she says.

C.H.A.T. offers educati onal support\, mentorship\, recreation\, meals\, and wellness resources th rough collaborations with the Cedar Hill Independent School District\, an active presence at the Alan E. Sims Recreation Center\, and participation in neighborhood events. In addition to providing for immediate needs\, the ir initiatives create connections within the community and pave the road f or long-term success. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n North Texas Giving Day offers C.H.A.T. e xposure\, interaction\, and the opportunity to increase impact. Donations support the nonprofit’s operating expenses\, enabling them to continue m eaningfully serving Cedar Hill’s youth and seniors through matching gift s and increased community awareness.
