Tekkonkinkreet (12)

Sensoria Festival, in association with Reel Steel, presents the rarely-screened cult anime classic Tekkonkinkreet (2006) in a 20th Anniversary 4K restoration.

Based on the legendary Japanese manga by Taiyo Matsumoto, Tekkonkinkreet follows two street orphans - 'Black' and 'White' - who watch over Treasure Town, a decaying metropolis where life can be both gentle and brutal.

The street-smart youngsters roam their territory like superpowered vigilante stray cats, doing their best to defend it from the different villains and factions vying for control to impose their own intentions on the district; from local gangs, to old-world Yakuza, real-estate developers, and other-worldly assassins, all threatening to destroy the very soul of the city.
