THE CASE OF HANA & ALICE aka Hana to Arisu Satsujin Jiken d. Shunji Iwai, 2015 (16 APR 18:35) / Part of ANIME at BFI Southbank:

“Alice arrives at a new school and is unnerved when she’s given the chair that belonged to a previous student who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and whose ‘ghost’ is said to be haunting the area. Following a murder-mystery format, Iwai’s rotoscoped anime prequel to his earlier live-action film is a compelling drama in its own right.” (BFI)
