Columbia U Colloquium, Feb. 3

[Lawrence Marceau]

It seems that the folks at Columbia University have also jumped onto the 
"Kill Last Translation" bandwagon.  (Too bad Aaron Gerow isn't on the 
distinguished speakers' list...)

February 3  Discussion: Japan in Hollywood: An Evening of Conversation 
4PM-6PM

Participants: Paul Anderer (East Asian Languages & Cultures), David 
Lurie (East Asian Languages & Cultures), Daisuke Miyao (Weatherhead East 
Asian Institute), Richard Pe?a (Film Society of Lincoln Center & Film 
Division, School of the Arts), Gregory Pflugfelder (East Asian Languages

 From Lost in Translation to Kill Bill to The Last Samurai, Japan?s 
profile in American popular film has become very conspicuous of late. 
The Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture is pleased to sponsor an 
evening of informal conversation on the significance of these 
contemporary trends in Hollywood moviemaking and about the historical, 
cultural, and esthetic issues that they raise.
