Brain Dead Studios
$14.50
Brain Dead Studios presents O.V.A. Night, a surprise screening of obscure anime rarely seen on the big screen.
O.V.A. (Original Video Animation) emerged in Japan during the home video boom of the 1980s. Released directly to home video, OVAs gave animators the freedom to work outside the usual restrictions of television and theatrical releases, opening the door to stranger stories, bigger ideas, and imagery that could never have made it onto TV. The result was some of the most ambitious, violent, experimental, and downright bizarre anime of the era.

This West Coast premiere serves as a centerpiece for Sacred Fools' landmark 30th-anniversary season, celebrating three decades of bringing eclectic, profound, and highly engaging theatrical work to the Los Angeles community. A 2017 Humana Festival hit commissioned by Playwrights Horizons, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas's play is a gripping examination of personal and cultural alienation. The story follows Álvaro, a queer Puerto Rican artist who believes he has unraveled a real-life conspiracy embedded in an early episode of The X-Files. Years later, when a close friend arrives at his family home seeking to publish his plays, she uncovers secrets suggesting Álvaro might have been right all along.

The new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, whose magnificent façade was inspired by the nearby Pyramids of Giza, is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single ancient civilization. Tarek Tawfik, president of the International Association of Egyptologists, served as its director general during the transfer of more than 40,000 artifacts to their new home. He introduces the museum and some of its treasures, including an obelisk suspended in the entrance plaza, the entire contents of King Tutankhamun’s (Tut’s) tomb, and newly discovered Book of the Dead scrolls.
