 get="_blank">ANPO: ART X War</a>. Director Linda Hoaglund will be at the e
 vent to introduce the film and lead a discussion after the screening on Sa
 turday\, October 1 at&nbsp\;7pm.\n\nANPO was honored by&nbsp\;Japan's Agen
 cy for Cultural Affairs nomination for its prestigious annual Best Film Pr
 ize. Through a mesmerizing collage of paintings\, photographs and films\, 
 ANPO: Art X War relates longstanding resistance to&nbsp\;U.S.&nbsp\;milita
 ry bases in&nbsp\;Japanfrom the perspective of its foremost contemporary a
 rtists. "Japan's relationship&nbsp\;withAmerica&nbsp\;has always been comp
 licated\," muses artist Aida Makoto\, "always&nbsp\;vacillating between lo
 ve and hate...." An array of artwork vividly resurrects&nbsp\;a forgotten 
 period ofJapan's history\, while highlighting the insidious effects of "AN
 PO\," Japanese shorthand for the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty.\n\nIn 
 1960\, millions of Japanese citizens from all walks of life came together 
 in a democratic uprising largely forgotten today. This nationwide movement
  left an indelible mark on the creative work of the artists who participat
 ed\, many of whom eventually rose to international prominence. Director Li
 nda Hoaglund reconstructs these artists' stories\, unearthing&nbsp\;artwor
 k that has been hidden from public view in museum vaults for over half a c
 entury. She was "compelled to excavate this vast cultural legacy to tell t
 he story of the...protests\, the events that provoked them and how the&nbs
 p\;U.S.&nbsp\;bases continue to impact&nbsp\;Japan." The film is a pricele
 ss record of how Japanese artists grappled with politics and the&nbsp\;U.S
 .&nbsp\;military presence in&nbsp\;Japan\, spinning their hope\, despair a
 nd outrage into art.\n\nDirector Linda Hoaglund will be introduced by Mich
 ael Bourdaghs\, Associate Professor\, East Asian Languages and Civilizatio
 ns. Co-sponsored by the&nbsp\;University&nbsp\;of&nbsp\;ChicagoCommittee o
 n Japanese Studies.\n<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=adww4neab&amp\
