dir: Kinji Fukasaku - 2000 - 2 hr 4 min Presenting an alternate dystopian vision of turn-of-the-millennium Japan, Battle Royale follows the 42 junior high school students selected to take part in the government's annual Battle Royale programme, established as an extreme method of addressing concerns about juvenile delinquency. Dispatched to a remote island, they are each given individual weapons (ranging from Uzis and machetes to pan lids and binoculars), food and water, and the order to go out and kill each other. Every player is fitted with an explosive collar around their neck, imposing a strict three-day time limit on the deadly games in which there can only be one survivor. Overseeing the carnage is 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano (Sonatine, Hana-bi, Zatoichi) as the teacher pushed to the edge by his unruly charges. Playing like a turbo-charged hybrid of Lord of the Flies and The Most Dangerous Game, the final completed work by veteran yakuza-film director Kinji Fukasaku (Battles without Honor and Humanity, Graveyard of Honor) helped launch a new wave of appreciation for Asian cinema in the 21st century. High-Brow/Low-Brow/Uni-Brow is a monthly film series programmed by Andrew Linn dedicated to exploring films from every corner of taste and seeing what they have to say with each other.

Join American Public Square for a conversation with former co-vice chair of the DNC and Leaders We Deserve PAC founder David Hogg.    Where does the Democratic party go from here? After the 2024 election defeat, many voices have tried to fill the vacuum around conversations about the future of the Democratic party, but few have been as visible as David Hogg. From his time as co-vice chair at the DNC to founding his own PAC to support younger Democratic candidates, Hogg has been a critical part of the conversation in 2025. Hogg’s background as a survivor of the Parkland School shooting and outspoken commonsense gun reform activist have made him one of the most visible Gen Z leaders during the Trump era. This panel will unpack the role of younger candidates in the local and national conversation, what issues Democrats should pursue in the midterms, and which figures Hogg believes represent the future of the party.  Information Source: American Public Square | eventbrite

Learn about the iconic venues, musicians, and stories that have shaped the jazz scene in Kansas City. This is a great opportunity to experience the magic of jazz in its KCMO birthplace and discover the hidden gems of the 18th and Vine district. Don't miss out on this unique and unforgettable experience! Guides: Chuck Haddix - Director of UMKC Marr Sound Archives, host of KCUR 89.3 Fish Fry on Friday and Saturday nights, author of Bird - The Life and Music of Charlie Parker and Kansas City Jazz - From Ragtime to Bebop . Geri Sanders - Independent historical consultant, specializing in the community at the 18th and Vine Historic District and other diverse projects such being a part of the design team for the reopening of the Kansas City Museum as well as the Community Remembrance Project through the Legacy Museum, founded by Bryan Stevenson in Alabama. About the Tour: During the days of public segregation, Kansas City’s 18th and Vine area developed into a self-contained community. The intersection of 18th and Vine served as the hub of a bustling business and entertainment district--the heart and soul of an African-American community, bounded by Independence Avenue on the north, Troost Avenue on the west, 27th Street on the south and Benton Boulevard to the east. Just after the turn of the 19th century, an African-American preacher and his wife, the Reverend and Mrs. Sweeney, operated a truck farm in the 18th and Vine area. By the late 1800s, thousands of African-Americans settled in the area, then known as the “Bowery.” In November 1909, the first moving picture show for African-Americans, the Star, opened in a wood-frame building at the northeast corner of 18th and Vine, forming the cornerstone of the new business district. The area grew quickly and by 1915 dry goods stores, laundries, fish shops, bakeries, barbers, cobblers, tailors, restaurants, nightclubs and all the businesses and services denied the community downtown packed 18th Street east of Paseo Boulevard. Apartments and headquarters for social clubs perched on the second floor above the bustle of commerce below. The fragrant aroma of hickory smoke from Henry Perry’s Barbeque pit at 19th and Highland wafted over the community. Street cars rattled down the center of 18th Street connecting the community to the rest of the city and jobs in packing plants, the railroads and homes of the wealthy. Once established, the community grew swiftly and prospered. Young Charlie Parker came of age as a man and musician in the 18th and Vine area. After Charlie’s parents separated in 1930, he and his mother Addie moved to a two-story brick house at 1516 Olive Street just blocks away from 18th and Vine. Addie worked nights and after she left for work, Charlie began his nightly rounds of the night clubs dotting 12th and 18th streets. While on tour later in his career, Charlie often stopped off in Kansas City to visit Addie, play gigs in the clubs on 18th street and renew old acquaintances.
