Shelter (Riparo) - Tokyo International L&G Film Festival - Sunday 20th July
Hey all! Here's another screening at the Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, 'Shelter (Riparo - Anis tra di noi)' is about three people: Anna, a wealthy middle-class 35-year old woman who owns, together with her mother and her brother, a factory in the northeast of Italy; she has a love affair with 25-year-old Mara, who works in the factory; then there's Anis, a young man from Maghreb who suddenly storms into their lives. The film will be in French/Italian dialogue with English AND Japanese subtitles. Date: Sunday July 20th, 2008 Meeting Time: 1.15pm (Screening begins at 1.45pm) Venue: Spiral Hall - In front of the Ticket Box Here's a link to a map of Spiral Hall. Closest Train Station: B1 and B3 Exit of Omotesando Sta. of Hanzomon Line, Ginza Line, and Chiyoda Line. Otherwise, it's a 15min walk from Harajuku Station. You can also check here for the website. Tickets will be 1500 yen (1600 yen all up including the meetup fee of 100yen) and I will pre-purchase them for people that RSVP 'YES' by 6pm Friday, the 18th of July. Tickets on the day will be 1500yen, provided they aren't sold out (Tickets may be standing room only). Please keep in mind that pre-purchased tickets are NOT refundable once they are purchased and if you do not show, you will still be liable to pay for them. If you haven't attended one of our meetups before, please call me on 090-6020-9673 with your Cell phone such that we can have a chat prior to my purchasing tickets. ***Important Note*** The cinema cannot hold pre-purchased tickets for latecomers at the information counter. I will be in the foyer on the floor of the screening until the scheduled screening time of the film and my phone will be turned off after this. Should you expect to be late, CALL ME WELL BEFORE the screening time and we can speak about what is to be done. If you have NOT called me by this stage, there is nothing I will be able to do to get your ticket to you. Please note that you will still liable to pay for the ticket if I have bought it for you. *** The finishing time for the movie will be around 3.45pm or so and the plan is to head to a nearby drinking hole of sorts for a drink and chat after. As always, if you are unsure whether or not you'll be able to attend, please RSVP 'No' with a comment stating this. Movie Synopsis: Returning from a Tunisian holiday, Anna and Mara discover a young Moroccan boy, Anis, hiding in their car. Initially mistrustful, they decide to help him reach Italy and find work. The accidental trio briefly enjoys an idyllic 'family' life together, until it is pushed to the breaking point by Anis' impossible infatuation with Mara and the insecurity of his life as an illegal migrant. A rare look, in Italian cinema, at a lesbian relationship, Riparo skilfully and sympathetically shows what happens when these two women accept responsibility for someone even more vulnerable than themselves.

Marine Day (National Holiday) Screening: Made in Jamaica - Monday 21st March
Hooray for the 21st! It's a National Holiday - which means we have a chance for another movie that long weekend. 'Made in Jamaica' is a powerful portrait of the leaders of the reggae music Movement, and how Reggae has become a worldwide phenomenon. The film showcases performances by the best Reggae and Dance Hall artists ever assembled. From their native ghetto to international fame, ?Made in Jamaica? is the story of the artists who represent the Jamaican Dream. This event will be run in conjunction with the Jamaican Association of Japan, who will be in attendance and will join us at the after movie event. Date: Monday (National Holiday) July 21st, 2008 Meeting Time: 4.15pm (Screening begins at 4.35pm and runs for about 120 mins) Venue: 4th Floor Cinema Amuse EAST, Shibuya Here's a link to a map of the Shibuya area. Cinema Amuse is at location 12, opposite Bunkamura. Please do NOT go to the CQN site on the other side of Shibuya. Tickets will be 1500 yen (1600 yen all up with the meetup fee) for adults and I'll be able to pre-purchase them for those that confirm with me by the afternoon of Sunday, the 20th of July. Otherwise, tickets will be 1800 yen on the day, provided they aren't sold out. Please keep in mind that pre-purchased tickets are NOT refundable once they are purchased and if you do not show, you will still be liable to pay for them. If you haven't attended one of our meetups before, please call me on 090-6020-9673 with your Cell phone such that we can have a chat prior to my purchasing tickets. Note that Cine Amuse EAST does not provide reserved seating, but a numbered seat priority list on entry at about 4.25 or so - the earlier you come, the better your seat. ***Important Note*** As has changed now, the cinema can no longer hold pre-purchased tickets for latecomers at the information counter. I will be in the foyer until the scheduled screening time of the film and my phone will go off after this. Should you expect to be late, CALL ME WELL BEFORE the screening time and we can speak about what is to be done. If you have NOT called me by this stage, there is nothing I will be able to do to get your ticket to you. Please note that you will still liable to pay for the ticket if I have bought it for you. *** The finishing time for the movie will be 6.45pm or so and we will be heading in to the 'Treasure Chest' nearby for food and drink. Members from the Jamaica Association of Japan will also be joining us :D As always, if you are unsure whether or not you'll be able to attend, please RSVP 'No' with a comment stating this. Movie Synopsis: This is the story of how a small island nation of only three million people took their pain and misery and turned those emotions into songs that resonate around the world. Reggae is Jamaica?s blues: a music of both desperation and hope. Reggae music sprang into life in the 70?s. It was the first time that a third world country had made its voice heard on such a large scale. Instantly recognizable, the reggae sound is a celebration of life itself. Now a new generation of reggae artists has emerged and its fathers are still in Jamaica. The Dance Hall, emerging from reggae, is drawing large crowds across the globe. At its origin, the Dance Hall concept is heavily influenced by religious overtones. Like rap music, Dance Hall?s message is powerful and straightforward, with lyrics about sex, violence, and social issues, including much on women?s rights.?
