Great Movies in the Great Hall: Weathering With You

Makoto Shinkai’s Weathering With You (2019) tells the magical story of a runaway teenager and a girl who can control the weather, set in the dynamic urban landscape of Tokyo.  The evening begins with “Cinematic Tokyo and the Climate Crisis,” a lecture by Jordan Sand, Professor of Japanese History at Georgetown University. Professor Sand will compare Shinkai’s Tokyo to earlier cinematic portrayals, highlighting iconic locations and exploring the city’s evolution on screen. He will also consider how the film’s near-future, rain-soaked Tokyo addresses global climate change and Japanese perspectives on the environment.  The film will be screened in the English-dubbed version.   After the presentation, the film will be screened in the Great Hall, surrounded by the winter installation, The Wave.  Schedule:   Doors Open at 6pm   Presentation by Professor Jordan Sand at 6:30pm   Movie Starts at 7pm   Program Ends at 9:00pm   Picnic style! Bring your own food, blanket, or lawn chair. No outside alcohol permitted. Drinks and light snacks (including beer and wine) will be available for purchase. Bags will be checked by security upon entry.
