This will be an all-day event starting at 12PM and going until 11PM. We will be screening Kiki?s Delivery Service, Howl?s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. 2nixons will be serving up some delicious Ramen in the lobby. We are flying in a special projector to be able to play the films in the highest quality possible. We hope to make this the beginning of an annual anime film festival. Admission to each film will be $12 or you can buy a 4 film pass for only $36 (complimentary specialty poster included).

Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors.

Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films.

Synopsis: Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary - all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.

Fresh on the heels of the release of her hilarious new book, THE TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS (Algonquin Books), comedian Paula Poundstone is entertaining audiences across the country and leaving them complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and wondering if the random people she talks to are plants. Of course, they never are.

Poundstone can be heard regularly on NPR?s #1 show, the weekly comedy news quiz Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! When asked about Paula, Wait, Wait host Peter Sagal replied,"Paula Poundstone is the funniest human being I have ever known. Everything she does, thinks, or says is hilarious. She is made of funny. If you chopped her into bits, each piece would be hilarious. (But don?t.) Air becomes funny having been breathed by her.?

A star of several HBO specials and her own series on ABC and HBO, Poundstone voiced the character ?Forgetter Paula? in the Academy Award winning feature film INSIDE OUT. She was the first woman to share the dais with the President and perform standup comedy at the White House Correspondents Dinner. She won an American Comedy Award for Best Female Standup Comic and is included in innumerable lists, documentaries and literary compendiums noting influential standup comedians of our time. She has released three performance CD?s, her most recent, NORTH BY NORTHWEST --a double-live CD-set (HighBridge Audio).

Paula adds another medium to her impressive repertoire on July 8, 2017 when she launches her new weekly podcast ? LIVE FROM THE POUNDSTONE INSTITUTE. Joined by a live and lively audience, and her Chief of Research and fellow Wait Wait Panelist, Adam Felber, Poundstone takes on the research studies that are so odd they just beg for someone to stand up and say ?wait, what?!?The podcast is produced in association with NPR station KPCC and distributed by NPR.

On stage, Poundstone is known for her casual style, smart, observational humor, and a razor sharp spontaneous wit that has become the stuff of legend. Garrison Keillor described her as ?the bravest and best improv comic of our time.?

THE TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS climbed to #1 on the Amazon Best Sellers list for Humor CD?s on its first day of release, and landed in #1 or in the top-10 in Humor lists in Hardcover, Kindle, Audible and CD in too many categories to mention --all the while garnering great reviews. Kirkus? one of the most notable review sources ? called the book ?A deeply revealing memoir in which the pathos doesn't kill the humor... delivers more than it promises.?NY Journal of Books: ?For readers who want a break from the current madness in the world and a good dose of Poundstone humor, this book will certainly provide.?Tony and Emmy Award-winner Lily Tomlin described the book as ?A remarkable journey. I laughed. I cried. I got another cat.?
