*We mean, why does this exist? What kind of numbers will this get online. So utterly strange. Here's a whole article on it from Japan House.
Japanese food is admired worldwide for its visual appeal, with
ingredients arranged and combined so artistically that a meal might be a
feast for the eyes as much as the mouth. Japan is also famous for its
plastic food samples, or “sampuru,” – replicas that are displayed in
restaurant windows to show the food served inside and entice passersby.
Iwasaki Mokei is one of the best-known food replica companies, based in
Gujo Hachiman in Gifu prefecture. Since 1955, the company has been
producing replicas that are designed not to simply copy the food but to
convey its deliciousness too.
Mr. Seigo Kozakai, the CEO of
Iwasaki Mokei will give a presentation with slides about the art and
business of food replicas, the importance of this industry in Japanese
culinary culture, and the future role of his company in promoting
Japanese food in Japan and beyond.

Borrowing its name from the phrase cultural historian Mike Davis used to
describe how Los Angeles is more sinister, intense, and foreboding than
the city’s boosters care to admit, Sunshine and Noir: 1980s L.A. Horror Marathon
takes a deep dive into the L.A.-based horror films that terrorized a
generation and continue to define its fears. Curated by Wynter
Mitchell-Rohrbaugh and Cinematic Void at the American Cinematheque, the
marathon foregrounds the contributions of women and people of color,
while also illuminating the ways in which horror films played out 1980s
L.A.’s preoccupation with ambition, health, and wealth. Featuring a
combination of film screenings and guest artist panels, Sunshine to Noir
promises a chilling descent into the City of Angels’ dark side and a
nostalgia trip of epic proportions for those whose first encounters with
horror took place on VHS.

Suck on it PETA!
A furry free-for-all of a horror marathon -- an arkful of angry animals here to clear the decks of humanity!
After centuries of pollution and arrogance, it’s about time we’re taken out by Mother Nature. As such, these six mystery feature films are stocked to the gills with critters ready to unleash a bounty of guiltless killing. So root for the rooster and rally for the rodents, as bands of measly sapiens fend off creatures big and small -- and bigger!
Plus, we start with a community potluck. Stuff like chips and drinks are not encouraged; please bring a dish or other fun, picnic-worthy item! (Potluck covers the show’s first half; snacks and other food available at concessions for second half.)
The Secret Sixteen mission: to project horror/cult rarities exclusively from the portable, wondrous 16mm format. Hints are dropped, but titles are never revealed until they unspool onscreen.
