J-Sei At the Movies (hybrid)
Friday, July 19th, 3:00 pm
This month, we’re coming back to J-Sei to revive for one time only a pre-pandemic tradition: watching and discussing a Japanese movie together at J-Sei. For this very special occasion, it seems fitting for us to get together to celebrate a beloved icon from the world of Japanese entertainment: Misora Hibari. Arguably the greatest star of the postwar period, Hibari did it all — starting as a child prodigy singer in 1945 at age 8, she recorded 1,500 songs and went on to star in more than 150 movies between 1949 and 1981.
Special day and time: Friday, July 19, at 3:00pm
in person and on Zoom
We will be screening a Misora Hibari movie (tba). You can join in person at J-Sei, or virtually via Zoom. We’re starting at an early time (3:00p) to allow for daytime-driving. Snacks and beverages will be provided.
Please RSVP to Jill (jill@j-sei.org) with “July movie” in the subject line — please specify if you will attend “in-person” or “on Zoom”.
We’ll see you at the movies!
