Urban ambitions clash with nature in a quiet village near Tokyo in this eco-fable from the Oscar and BAFTA-winning director Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of its release, we are honoured to close the 2024 edition of Open City Documentary Festival with a new digital restoration of Leila and the Wolves, co-presented with Cinenova.

The debut feature from acclaimed cinematographer Sean Price Williams is a picaresque journey through contemporary America.
