    👁️ Citizens, heed the call of Big Brother! 📢 We command your attention to the upcoming theatrical production of “1984,” meticulously adapted from George Orwell’s seminal novel by our loyal followers Robert Owens, Wilton Hall Jr., and William A. Miles.

    🔒 Enter the world of Oceania, where the all-seeing eye of Big Brother reigns supreme. Join us as we expose the treacherous journey of Winston Smith, trapped in the machinations of the state. Experience the chilling consequences of rebellion in a society where dissent is crushed and conformity is the law.

    🌐 This production is not merely entertainment; it is a stark warning of the dangers that lurk in our world. Let the truth be known: resistance is futile and thoughtcrime will not be tolerated.

    Join us in celebrating imagination, art, and movement with the first ever SJSU Stop Motion Animation festival. Our festival will kick off with a series of hands-on workshops focusing on different areas of stop motion animation productions: puppetry, fabrication techniques, miniature sets and props, character development and of course, animation and storytelling. The workshops will be followed by a weekend of screenings, panels and Q&As at the Hammer Theatre.

    Stop Motion Animation entails photographing your object or figure, slightly moving them, and photographing them again. When the photos are played in succession, the objects or characters appear to be moving on their own. Interdisciplinary by nature, this fascinating art form encompasses several areas—bringing them together to create thought provoking magic.

    Workshops, Special Programming, and Feature Film screening with Academy-nominated Director Jim Capobianco on March 2nd at SJSU (registration required!)

    Screenings, Panel, Kangmin Kim retrospective and Q&A at the Hammer Theatre on March 3rd at 2pm.
