Other Web information:  Entertainment Wire press release; Directions and Map to James Bridges Theater

Note to Anime Reviewers

The following statement concerning the "Sneak Preview" of Princess Mononoke at the UCLA festival appears in the press release:
"NOTE TO EDITORS AND JOURNALISTS: There will be a media embargo for "PRINCESS MONONOKE." Please hold all reviews of the film until its West Coast premiere at the Los Angeles AFI International Film Festival."
(This "media embargo" appears to be a result of the rules for entry of films in the AFI Festival, which state: "Films and videos must not have screened publicly (theatrical/tv) in the Los Angeles area."  Thus, the embargo probably applies only to the Los Angeles area.  Please check with the media contact listed at the bottom of the press release for clarification.)

Ticket information for the Ghibli Retrospective series, summarized from the printed program by Charlie Tangora:

"General Admission is $7, members $3. A basic membership ('Honor Roll') is $35, and it includes 4 free tickets, so if you plan to go to more than 5 screenings, it's a good deal (you'll save $17 if you go to all 10.) The box office opens 1 hour before the first show of the day; at least in October, all the Ghibli screenings are the first shows of the day. It says nothing about advance tickets; it doesn't sound like they're available. Member tickets and passes must be exchanged for tickets at the box office."

Note:  Another showing of Kiki at the Film Center apparently is scheduled for Saturday, 10/2 at 12:30 PM, as part of a separate event called "From Manga Comics and Animation to Sumo Wrestling: A Look at Japanese Society Today".  Please check with the Institute for current schedule details.  The following information is believed to apply to the 10/2 showing of Kiki:

"Tickets are free.  Tickets can be reserved (limitation of 2) at the Japan Information Center via email jiee@xsite.net or fax (312) 280-6883. Tickets can be picked up at the Japan Information Center, 737 N. Michigan Ave. #1000 or held at the door, School of the Art Institute Film Center, Columbus Drive and Jackson.  Doors open at 11:15.  Direct inquiries to Japan America Society (312) 263-3049."
