The festival begins on Friday, May 2nd at 7:00 PM with the US Premiere of THE CAT RETURNS (NEKO NO ONGAESHI), (2002, Studio Ghibli, 75 min.) directed by Hiroyuki Morita. A major hit in Japan last year, THE CAT RETURNS is the latest from Studio Ghibli, the legendary team behind SPIRITED AWAY, PRINCESS MONONOKE and MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO. 17-year-old Haru is not finding life as a teenager in modern Japan to her liking - the rush of busy schooldays is overwhelming, her classes boring and sports exhausting. One day Haru spots a cat carrying a small box trying to cross a busy street against the red light. She impulsively dashes out and saves the cat just as it is about to be hit by a truck. That night an unusual thing happens: the Cat King accompanied by his servants pays Haru a visit, and invites her to visit with them in the Kingdom of the Cats ... (In Japanese with English subtitles.) Discussion following with director Hiroyuki Morita and producer Nozomu Takahashi.

Following at 9:30 PM is a Special Sneak Preview of two upcoming releases from Bandai: "SCRYED" (Episodes 1 - 2, 2001, Bandai (Sunrise), 50 min. total.) series directed by Gorō Taniguchi. "SCRYED" is an instantly addictive series about a quarantined area of Japan called The Lost Ground, where outcast "alter-users" employ telekinetic power to deconstruct and reconstruct reality with explosive force. In the first episodes, rebellious gun-for-hire Kazuma finds himself hunted by the shadowy government organization HOLY, which pits mercenary alter-users against their mutant
brothers.

Next on the same bill is "PLEASE, TEACHER" (Episodes 1 - 3, 2002, Bandai, 75 min. total.) directed by Yasunori Ide. "Nothing ever changes," sighs frail, introverted high school student Kei - until the night that a gorgeous, redheaded alien drops from the sky into his lap, then turns up the next day as his new teacher! This terrifically sexy and very funny new series piles one compromising situation on top of another as Kei frantically tries to protect Ms. Kazumi's true identity from his classmates and foster parents. Favorite buzzwords: "This is a Priority One!!" (All episodes in Japanese with English subtitles.)
