Anime Evolution Announces 2007 Dates and First Guests
Apr 19 2007
Asian Popular Entertainment Event Highlights Multimedia, International and Local Talent
Vancouver, BC Canada – Anime Evolution (AE 2007) is primed to be Vancouver's premiere Asian entertainment event where industry and audiences interact directly in an informal setting. This three-day Japanese Animation Convention, expected to draw over 4,000 people, will bring together art, animation, video games, TV, film and music in a celebration of Asian popular culture and multimedia. All are welcome to attend the event, which draws largely on Vancouver's local talent pool of gifted actors and artists, as well as film and animation studios, comic book publishers, and game developers. Festivities will take place from Friday August 17 to Sunday August 19, 2007 at Simon Fraser University's Burnaby Campus. Events will take place at various locations on campus and the convention runs 24 hours a day.
Over the course of the weekend, AE 2007 will feature Q&A's and workshops with professional voice actors, directors, artists, animators and game developers. In addition, visitors can participate in a cultural festival, video screening & video game rooms and live performances by DJs, bands and improv actors. Attendees can also expect to see convention goers engaged in more unusual activities like an Anime-Idol competition, a collectable card game room and dramatic costume play - or "cosplay" - where anime fans don costumes representing anime characters and participate in a fashion show. The convention art gallery will be open to submissions from all AE 2007 attendees, and there will be an "Artists' Alley" where visitors can buy and sell original works of art. A dealers area will also be available for attendees to purchase their favourite comic books, videos and other animation related items.
