PaleFO Cinema is making a significant impact in the community by bringing the magic of Studio Ghibli to the NYCHA in Brooklyn. Our project provides residents in cinema deserts with access to beautiful, non-theatrical films, and introduces them to Japanese culture through animation. Studio Ghibli’s works are renowned for their stunning environments, captivating music, and thought-provoking stories that teach valuable lessons to children. By offering this unique cinematic experience, PaleFO Cinema supports the century-old tradition of movie-going with a modern twist, empowering youth in crime-prone areas. Beyond merely watching films, the community is invited to engage actively by setting up outdoor screenings, fostering a sense of creativity and communal spirit.
