CANCELLED: POWA Screening, 27th March 2022

NOTE: Due to the potential of a COVID-19 outbreak affecting the POWA community, we are cancelling today’s screening. We apologise for the short notice. We recommend anyone who went to our RPG event at Northern Boards on Saturday the 26th of March get tested as soon as possible. Please stay safe everyone! Feel free to contact the Committee if you have any questions or concerns.

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

POWA’s regular weekly screenings continue!

As a reminder: We’ll be sure to keep up with the ongoing COVID situation in WA. As our borders open up and we reach our peak infection levels, rules may affect upcoming POWA screenings and events. Keep an eye on our social media – along with official communications from the WA government, and most importantly STAY SAFE!

Last week, we said goodbye to two series. On a super positive note, ‘WorldEnd’ gave us a grand finale. On a less positive note, we decided to no longer continue the gambling exploits of ‘Kaiji’. This means we’ll be voting in TWO new shows this week – an Action and a Cultural/Historical piece. Threads are already open for suggestions on our Facebook group and website.

POWA is also working on a collaborative project! The POWA “Fanzine” will compile articles, essays, reviews, creative writing, art and everything in between into a published magazine. Interested in joining in? Learn more here.

Entry for our weekly screenings is $4 for members and $5 for guests. However, your first time is free! Every entry prior to our break receives a raffle ticket for a weekly prize. We will be in the upstairs meeting room, of Joondalup Library. Our doors will open at the same time as the library – 1:00PM and we will start screening at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

This Week’s Schedule:
1:00PM – Library Doors Open
1:30PM – Ascendance of a Bookworm 2nd Season – Episode 10 (Fantasy)
2:00PM – My Next Life as a Villainess – Episode 3 (Comedy)
2:30PM – Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S – Episode 7 (Slice of Life/Romance/Arthouse)
3:00PM – Voting for new Cultural/Historical & Action, break & raffle draw
3:15PM – NEW Cultural/Historical show

We hope to see you there!

Last week, we voted in a brand Comedy series with yet another isekai addition to our line-up – ‘My Next Life as a Villainess’! We also voted to keep watching ‘Vivy’ and ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’. This week, the voting will be on ‘Kaiji’s’ shoulders. Will he be able to carry the burden? Finally, the last episode of ‘WorldEnd’ will be screening this week, so it’s time to start thinking of which Cultural/Historical show will replace it!

Events

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie Outing

Location: Event Cinemas Whitford
Date: March 17th
Time: 6:45PM

POWA is off to the movies to see the predecessor/prequel to the hit Shonen Jump action series ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’!
Our friends at Madman are offering 2x Free Double Passes and 5x Buy One, Get One Free Passes to POWA members! We have received the passes, and they will be strictly first-come, first-serve – with priority to the Free Double Passes. Meaning the first four people at the event will get in free!

The movie starts at 6:45pm at Event Cinemas Whitford, but as we cannot book ahead, we cannot guarantee seats in the cinema. Ensure that you arrive early enough to purchase your tickets at the counter so you don’t end up disappointed. This will be a screening in the original Japanese subtitled version.

Movie Synopsis:
“Yuta Okkotsu is a nervous high school student who is suffering from a serious problem—his childhood friend Rika has turned into a Curse and won’t leave him alone. Since Rika is no ordinary Curse, his plight is noticed by Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High, a school where fledgling exorcists learn how to combat Curses. Gojo convinces Yuta to enroll, but can he learn enough in time to confront the Curse that haunts him?”
