Anime NOW weekend at BFI Southbank London

Their site must be down or something because I can't get on either. The links in the other topic in the news section also don't work.
 
Link works for me fine!

"A weekend celebrating the most accomplished anime or manga-inspired
films to have emerged from Japan since our last round-up in 2006.
Justin Johnson enthuses.

While the international animation industry continues to plough untold resources into computer- generated animation, it is refreshing to see the Japanese striking an attainable balance between traditional 2D titles such as Paprika, Brave Story and 5 Centimetres per Second while still packing a punch with CG titles Vexille and Appleseed.

Makoto Shinkai, who visited us in 2005 with Voices from a Distant Star, has more than fulfilled his early promise and proved himself a significant player in the anime world. By showing that anime can just as easily be something lyrical and poetic (and pertinent), rather than only having to touch on the fantastic and futuristic, he has brought a whole new audience to the genre. We look forward to welcoming him back to the BFI to talk about his career to date."

My skills with graphic software are non-existent, so you can see hopeful monster in there, when I go by the screen name chaos.. =)
