Ghost in the Shell M

In the cyberpunk sprawl of New Port City, 2029, Major Motoko Kusanagi (Atsuko Tanaka) – a cybernetic police officer with a powerful prosthetic body – leads an elite cybercrime unit hunting a nefarious hacker. Their current target is the Puppet Master (Iemasa Kayumi), who can infiltrate and manipulate human minds. As the investigation deepens, Major Kusanagi uncovers a conspiracy that throws her own identity into question.  

Based on the manga by Shirow, this critically acclaimed international co-production explores what it truly means to possess a ‘ghost’ – a soul – in a world where the lines between human and machine are increasingly blurred.  

‘For sheer mind-expanding sci-fi strangeness this is hard to beat’ – Time Out

Cormican-Jones and the NFSA’s Aidan Delaney (Creative Producer and Program Coordinator) will give a brief introduction to the film and its connections to the artwork.
