Schedule released for Yubari Fanta 2008

Yesterday the full schedule for Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival 2008 was released. Today they put up an English-version of the schedule on their website. Jae-young Kwak’s “My Girlfriend Is a Cyborg” will be the first official selection screened after opening ceremonies on March 20th. Noboru Iguchi’s “The Machine Girl” will premiere on 3/22 at 10:30 PM coupled with the trailer for Yoshihiro Nishimura’s “Tokyo Gore Police”.

I re-wrote the entire schedule because I was already 80% done translating anyway and some of their English name choices are pretty funky. Below that you’ll find links to the original pdfs.
