New Acquisition: Fischer Film Almanach

 

Majo no takkyûbin (1989)

 

A young witch, on her mandatory year of independent life, finds fitting into a new community difficult while she supports herself by running an air courier service. 

Wonderfully animated, good-natured tale of a young girl making her way in life on her own; full of memorable and exciting moments.

Maltin***1/2: "Enchanting coming-of-age fable...Another beautifully animated, kindhearted gem from filmmaker Miyazaki." 

Abducted in Plain Sight (2017)

The twisting, turning, stranger-than-fiction true story of the Brobergs, a naive, church-going Idaho family that fell under the spell of a sociopathic neighbor with designs on their twelve-year-old daughter. 

Compelling documentary unravels a quite unusual and shocking crime case with a whole family (and the victim) being duped by the scheming perpetrator.
