No Screening this Saturday, 6th September 2025

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 13^th September 2025!

Winter Hours:- 4:15PM->9:45PM

Spring has officially arrived in Australia as of September 1^st. Warmth and sunlight return to JAFWA, though some people may complain it is not fast enough. At least we don’t need the Sun Disactivator. Yet. We are currently “enjoying” our regular one Saturday a month break from screening anime. So for this week prepare to chill out dear wonderful attendees. Take this time to find and hopefully enjoy some of this thing called “Life” (sticky and organic as it is).

If you strongly feel that JAFWA is neglecting certain well-deserving anime, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites. If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did previously, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as Greg and Sally did, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max). You may have to help us source this material, so plan and inform us in advance please.

Below is the draft program for the evening of Saturday August 9^th, 2025.
