 prison camps during World War II. Director Satsuki Ina will introduce the 
 film.\n\n11 AM-­12:50 PM\nWool 100% \nThis drama combining live action, 
 puppetry and animation is about two aging women who live a solitary life 
 collecting discarded items from a nearby town. One day they return home to 
 find a young girl knitting a red sweater in their house. Each time the girl 
 finishes her sweater, she mysteriously unravels it and starts again. 
 Surreal and stunning!  Classical pianist Natsuki Fukasawa will introduce 
 this film, directed by Mai Tominaga. \n\n1-­2:10 PM\nShinjuku Boys 
 \nDirected by Kim Longinotto and Jano Williams, this film introduces three 
 “onnabes” (women who live as men, but don’t usually identify as 
 lesbians) who work as hosts at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo. All three 
 talk frankly to the camera about women, sex, transvestitism and lesbianism. 
 This is a remarkable documentary about the complexity of female sexuality 
 in Japan today. Cindi Sturtz Sreetharan, Ph.D., Assistant Director of the 
 Asian Studies Program at Sacramento State will introduce the 
 film.\n\n2:25-­2:45 PM\nIn-person: Sacramento Area Youth Speaks
