Woo Hoo! This year we are having our annual marathon length screening in April, when the Sakura bloom in Japan, rather than hot December. Remember that JAFWA starts screening at 1:30PM today.
Just a reminder to come early, as the COVID countermeasures limit the number of people we can admit.

We will have animated movies, as well as finish off several of our regular series so we start afresh in May.
We will also do a pizza run, and have a sushi platter. Don’t miss it!

Unfortunately nobody expressed enough interest for us to try doing an auction during the marathon screening.
