This event listing is from Ukie friend and #RaiseTheGame Pledge Partner Gray Jones Media, the organisation behind Gayming Magazine and Industry Gaming.
As part of BFI’s 2021 Japan Season, Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Festival has teamed up with with London Gaymers and Gayming Magazine to celebrate Japanese film making over the last 100 years by presenting the anime film, Summer Wars at the Two Brewers in Clapham, London.
Summer Wars is a sci-fi film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, known for their work on The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. In Summer Wars, viewers will join the timid protagonist Kenji Koiso as he fights to clear his name, as well as against an artificial intelligence known as Love Machine.
Queer Gaymers have chosen to screen Summer Wars for their Japan Season to show support for the “underserved queer anime, manga, cosplay and nerd community, and communities within”.
The event will be paired with a pre-screening Q&A and post-screening video game tournament.
