into a celebrated geisha, and sustained against both her rival
Hatsumomo’s (Gong) treachery and the vicissitudes of war by her love for
a man (Watanabe) she could not have.

wiping out mankind.

The ‘Hall of Fame’
At this All-Nighter we are going to do something new,
we are running a competition called the ‘Hall of Fame’.
The idea behind the ‘Hall of Fame’ is that
the Hall that gets the biggest percentage of students in for the whole
All-Nighter will win. To qualify for this the student will need to have
purchased an advance ticket for all six films. During the event, the winning
hall will be announced and a trophy will be presented. As well as a trophy we
will give the winning hall a maximum cash prize of up to £100 to spend as they
see fit. If this wasn’t enough we are also offering the students from the
winning hall, that bought the tickets, half price entry to all of iCU
Cinema’s showing in the 2006 summer term.
This is a great competition that we are running; the
deadline to get your hall involved has closed. But halls can still be
nominated, to do this you must let the person at the box office know which hall
you wish to choose when your ticket gets checked.
Yours
