Screening

Welcome Back! Below is the program for the evening of Saturday February 10th, 2018.

We shall be having our normal program, though you will have to wait for next week before we screen any previews.
However, this month we begin our new Members Prize scheme, where we only give a way a member’s prize at the end of the month, and you get a number of entries based on how often you attended during the month. Below we hope to show (have to cut down the image size) some examples of the prize pack that our new super-special member’s prizes will contain:

member's prize pack 1 member's prize pack 2

Unfortunately, our plans to run a booth at MadFest on the first week of March have fallen through. Time was not on our side.
However, there is still a chance to get involved with the operation of JAFWA. We are looking for some volunteers to help out at a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle on May 5th, for fundraising purposes. Does anyone wish to help cook sausages in a bun, and even < shock/horror > help serve the general public< / shock/horror >?
Please contact President Drew at the next JAFWA screening if you are interested in helping this endeavour.

Synopsis

Sakura Quest

Yoshino Koharu is a young girl trying to look for a job in Tokyo, but is only met with a series of rejections. However, she has a seemingly lucky break when she receives a job offer to work with the tourism board of the economically struggling Manoyama village as their “Queen”. With no other choice, Yoshino accepts the offer and travels to Manoyama only to find out that she was hired based on a case of mistaken identity and that her contract term is for one year instead of the one day, as she had initially thought. With nowhere else to go, Yoshino reluctantly becomes Queen of Manoyama.

This evening’s Episode:The Cry of the Mandrake

Yoshino continues trying to help revitalize Manoyama, with little success. During a television interview, Yoshino realizes that she doesn’t actually know all that much about the town, nor what to do to actually change things. However, when she tries to ask the townspeople what they think should be done, the majority of them end up being completely apathetic to their situation.

This evening’s Episode:Scrap & Build
