Project 5 "Cultural Diversity and Imagination" is pleased to announce that we are going to show a documentary film FALLOUT and discuss the film with the producer Mr. Peter Kaufmann and two more specialists on October 18. Prior to the event on the eve of the event, we are going to watch On The Beach and discuss it in the course of Integrated Human Sciences for Cultural Diversity VII, instructed by Professor Toshiko Ellis, inviting Mr. Kaufmann (the class will be held at Room 515, from 4:00PM to 7:00PM, Saturday, October 17, 2015). Your participation in both events is highly encouraged.

*Nevil Shute's novel On the Beach was published in 1957 and Stanley Kramer's film of the same name was made in Melbourne in 1959. The documentary FALLOUT traces the life of the book and the film, as well as the disputes that broke out in the process of making the film. This documentary provokes to think of many issues such as films and literature, Australia and Hollywood, the images of Hiroshima and Nagasaki within the ever-intensifying competitions of expansion of nuclear armament, and America and Australia's strategies.
