Mar 28: Ponyo & Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

 

DCEFF | Ponyo & Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Saturday, March 28th, 2026 Ponyo at 11:30 AM Nausicaä at 2:15 PM 📌 AFI SILVER SPRING THEATRE 🎫 Tickets Required   Tickets are moving fast for these two fan favorite Studio Ghibli films! Join us for two special screenings celebrating the work of one of Japan's master filmmakers, Hayao Miyazaki. His distinctive vision of nature portrays it as a profound, spiritual, living system—brought to life through lush, intricately detailed landscapes that are at once breathtakingly beautiful and fiercely powerful. As a part of this year's Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital (DCEFF), we will be showing Ponyo and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind at the AFI Silver Theatre. At 11:00 AM, join us for a screening of Ponyo. A whimsical film centered on the relationship between a young boy and a magical ocean being. Beneath its charming exterior lies a powerful reminder of the ocean's untamable spirit and the delicate balance between humanity and the deep blue. We especially encourage children to experience this magical film! At 2:00 PM, join us for a screening of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Adapted from a manga of the same name penned by Miyazaki, the author's engagement with environmental themes begin here. The film follows a warrior princess swept into adventure in a world with fungal wilderness and giant insects that protect it. Don't miss the chance to see these two iconic films on the big screen! (Both dubbed in English) Tickets for Ponyo In English  |   G   |  2008  |  101 min  |  Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Tickets for Nausicaä   In English with English subtitles  |   PG  |  1984  |  118 min  |  Directed by Hayao Miyazaki JICC EVENT & PHOTO POLICIES   The JICC reserves the right to use any photograph/video taken at any event sponsored by JICC without the express written permission of those included within the photograph/video.

Green Archer Comics' new Kickstarter - Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies

Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/greenarchercomics/rudolph-fishers-the-conjure-man-dies/description

The Conjure-Man is dead. Detective Perry Dart & Dr. John Archer must solve the case in this seminal work from the Harlem Renaissance!

Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies is considered to be the first story written by an African American author, featuring a black Detective and and all-black cast. It is a brilliant work of fiction that manages to be funny and reflective of 1930s Harlem while still being an amazing mystery. 

With the help of writer and industry veteran David Mariotte and the art of the amazing Darren Soto , combined with colors from DJ Chavis, we are bringing this important work back in comic book form! This is a 36-page full color comic with an art-style that is reminiscent of the Harlem Renaissance and we've collected an amazing team to tell this important story, including covers from Keith Williams and Shawn Martinbrough, Georges Jeanty and Afua Richardson. 

We also have several tiers that include the original The Conjure-Man Dies book. The book is a 1932 novel by Rudolph Fisher. It is a groundbreaking Harlem Renaissance mystery. When N'Gana Frimbo, a Harvard-educated African "conjure-man" (fortune teller), is found murdered in 1930s Harlem, Detective Perry Dart and Dr. John Archer investigate a puzzling, twist-filled case. 

We did our best to capture the feeling of the Harlem Renaissance in our art as you can see from these sample pages.
