Come enjoy a special screening and panel discussion of ANPO: Art X War with Director Linda Hoaglund! In 1951, Japan signed the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty (ANPO in Japanese), giving the United States the right to maintain armed forces on their soil. A growing resistance to the U.S. military presence culminated in protests against the renewal of the treaty in 1960, in which millions of citizens took to the streets. ANPO: Art X War depicts resistance to U.S. military bases in Japan through a collage of paintings, photographs and films by Japan’s foremost contemporary artists. Director Linda Hoaglund will introduce the film and participate in a panel discussion and a question and answer session with the audience following the screening. The panel discussion will be moderated by John Treat (Professor of Japanese Literature, Department of East Asian Languages & Literatures, Yale University), Aaron Gerow (Professor of Film Studies and Associate Professor, Department of East Asian Languages & Literatures, Yale University) and Jun Saito (Assistant Professor of Political Science, Yale University).
