Design Film Night: Akira

​8VC & Browserbase presents...

​Akira, a groundbreaking Japanese animated film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, reshaped design by showing how detailed environments, motion, and visual systems can carry story and emotion—not just style. Its hyper-detailed cyberpunk world and iconic visuals set a new standard that influenced countless films, including The Matrix, making it a key reference for how design can define an entire cinematic language.

​​Refreshments and snacks will be provided. See you there!
