So they may not know the difference between manga and anime, but that’s no reason not to go and check out their final weekend comprising of From Up on Poppy Hill on Friday night (with English subs) or, if you have some little people whom you’re trying to induct into all things J-culture, the classic … (read more)
BIFF schedule is out
I’m a bit slow on the uptake at the moment – work’s been slamming me. But now that I’m back on track (more or less) there’s one bright spot in my sky – the Brisbane International Film Festival’s 2012 program guide is on the streets and there’s a ton of awesome relevant-to-your-interests stuff to see.

JFF, BIFF & GCFF: November movie madness in QLD
Bloody hell, the November cinema scene up here in Queensland has gone a little crazy!
First up early in the month, the Japan Film Festival is happening around the country, and sure, we don’t get a lot to choose from comparatively speaking, but what we do get is worth leaving the house for – Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty, based on The Borrowers; live action extravaganza Space Battleship Yamato (come on, it’s a battleship in space that shoots a laser … (read more)
GoMA in Brisbane reopens

Before it all went a little to hell, the Cinematheque programme A New Tomorrow: Visions of the Future in Cinema was featuring some kick ass sci-fi not to be missed, including a decent selection of anime.
Well, I’m pleased to say the gallery has indeed reopened its doors finally, and they’ve gone to great … (read more)
