About the Film — PAPRIKA (2006)
Dr. Atsuko Chiba works as a scientist by day and, under the code name "Paprika," is a dream detective at night. Atsuko and her colleagues are working on a device called the DC Mini, which is intended to help psychiatric patients, but in the wrong hands it could destroy people's minds. When a prototype is stolen, Atsuko/Paprika springs into action to recover it before damage is done. This cult favourite celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Please note that this screening is rated NC16 for Some Nudity. Underage patrons will not be granted entry.
