The new animated feature from Ari Folman is a visionary retelling of the Anne Frank story that connects her legacy to oppression in the modern world.

One night in a near-future Amsterdam, in the Anne Frank House – once a secret hideout, now a museum – Anne’s world-famous diary opens of its own accord and her imaginary friend Kitty (Ruby Stokes) magically enters the world as a real person. Taking the diary with her – and dodging police as they hunt the thief – Kitty explores the 21st century while reminiscing on the life of her creator (voiced by Emily Carey) via deeply moving flashbacks. Befriending a group of asylum seekers in hiding, Kitty is saddened to find that war, injustice and prejudice are still very much with us.

Combining young-adult adventure, fantasy and social commentary, this timely tale is enlivened by wonderfully vivid and dreamlike animation.
