FESTIFALL!!: http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/index.aspx?page=1827&utm_source=E-news+10-02-2012&utm_campaign=E-news+27+March+2012&utm_medium=email

Also, free movie this Thursday anyone?

ACKLAND FILM FORUM:

Grave of the Fireflies

Thursday, 4 October, 7:00 PM

**NOTE: Screening at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium, Fed Ex Global Education Center, UNC-Chapel Hill

 

Susan Napier's talk (see above) will be followed by a free screening of Isao Takahata's 1988 film Grave of the Fireflies

 

This animated wartime tragedy follows the struggles of a Japanese brother and sister living in Kobe during the final months of World War II. After their mother is killed in an air raid, they find a temporary home with relatives, then are forced to make their home in an abandoned shelter. While their soldier father's whereabouts and condition are unknown, the two must depend on each other to somehow stay alive, their only entertainment being the light of evening fireflies. Roger Ebert called Grave of the Fireflies "one of the greatest war films ever made."

 

This is the first film in the Ackland Film Forum series "Aesthetics of the End: Cinema of Apocalypse in Japan" presented in connection with the Ackland's Season of Japan.

 

This screening is FREE and open to the public.
