Japanese Animation Festival "Read Or Die" October 20, 2006

ArtOrg with support from the Carleton Cinema and Media Studies department, announce the third year of the four-week Japanese Animation Festival titled "Whose Side Are You On?".

Rana Raeuchle will be leading the series with talks on each film in the series. Rana is teaching our Comickers Unite class at ArtOrg. The festival happens on four consecutive Friday nights in October: October 7, 14, 21, and 28. The shows start at 7 pm each night in room 104 of Boliou Hall at Carleton College. Boliou Hall is located on the main campus of Carleton College on the north end overlooking Lyman Lakes. Driving out of Northfield, turn right off Highway 19 directly before Lyman Lakes; this lot is the shortest walk to Boliou Hall. Please note that the second film in the series will be shown in the ArtOrg Gallery (an appropriate location for "Gallery Fake").

Friday, October 20: Read or Die - Action, Espionage, and Great works of world Literature.
Some of the finest minds in all of human history are being cloned, and great works of literature are being stolen from all over the world. It's up to Agent Paper and Miss Deep to figure out who is behind it all - and why.
