ULAB Film Club is pleased to announce its Summer Film Festival. This year the theme is ANIMATION. According to Juditha Ohlmacher, Adviser of Film Club, "Animation is not only for children. Some of the most powerful and sophisticated films have been made in an animated medium." Animation can cover a wide range of media, including cell animation, computer animation, and stop-motion animation. Many new films incorporate several overlapping media. Films this term are:  | Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Dir. Hayao MIYAZAKI Studio Ghibli The world that Princess Nausicaa lives in was almost destroyed 1000 years ago by the Seven Days of Fire. Since then, the Sea of Decay has consumed everything. Nausicaa tries to find the reason behind the spread and origin of the Sea of Decay in an effort to find a cure for its toxins. Neighboring countries, however, seek to destroy the Sea of Decay, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal - possibly even destroying the world again. |  | Wall-E Dir. Andrew Stanton Disney-Pixar Studios A robot named WALL-E, is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity. |  | Spirited Away [note: change from earlier notice] Dir. Hayao MIYAZAKI Studio Ghibli While moving to a new home, Chihiro and her parents take a wrong turn down a mysterious wooded path. Going through a tunnel into a fantastical fair ground, Chihiro's parents are suddenly captured and turned into pigs. Chihiro learns she is in a land of ghosts and spirits. With the help of a strange young man, she decides to work in the bathhouse of the spirits as she finds a way to rescue her parents and find her way home. |
