Hey! Did you know that last year Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of Akira, made a new movie last year? It’s called ‘Short Peace’ and it contains 4 segments, each directed by a different director including Hiroaki Ando, Hajime Katoki, Shuhei Morita, and Katsuhiro Otomo himself. I am thrilled about this.

The good/bad thing about this is that it’s screening here in Toronto on May 14, and May 17. You can find tickets at Cineplex! http://cineplex.com/Showtimes/short-peace/toronto-on?Date=5/14/2014&TheatreFilter=all

However, we’re GIVING AWAY TICKETS! Thanks to Viz Media and Elevenarts, you can win one of 3 pairs of passes to see SHORT PEACE on either May 14 or 17!

But Wait, There’s More! These passes are also good for ANOTHER movie, if you can’t make it to Short Peace! Another great movie, Tiger & Bunny: The Rising, is screening June 26 and June 29 in Toronto. The passes will work for any of the screenings (but not all of them, you gotta choose).

Anohana is the feature-length anime movie, which recaps and provides a new epilogue to the acclaimed TV series. Apparently it’s a good one, whether you’ve already watched the show or not!

But! If you’re feeling lucky, we’ve been given 4 single passes to see either the Sunday, February 9, or Wednesday, February 12 screenings of Anohana, and maybe you can win one…?

WOLF CHILDREN is the phenomenal new film from director Mamorou Hosoda (Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), and we’re partnering with the good folks at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) to give away five (5) double-passes to see the film!

You’re going to want to see this one on the big screen… so if you want to win tickets, here’s what you need to do!

Enter to win one five pairs of tickets to see WOLF CHILDREN at the JCCC on Wednesday, September 18th!

All you have to do is make sure you’re subscribed to The Beguiling mailing list (sign-up is in the upper-right corner of this page!), and send an email with your name, phone number, and “WOLF CHILDREN” to beguilingcontests@gmail.com before Tuesday, September 17th at 11am. We will draw the winners at that time, and e-mail the winners. Tickets can be picked up on-site at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre before the screening.

Please note: The JCCC is a beautiful building with a great theatre, but it is a little far away from the downtown core. It’s located at 8 Garamond Court,  just a block north of Don Mills & Eglinton. It’s worth the trip, and it’s only one bus from Eglinton station, but if you’re unlikely to leave the downtown core for any reason, maybe skip this contest so someone who will really want to go can win? Thanks!
