Event: Fantastic Planet (La Planete sauvage)! screeningLocation: Smitty B 106Time: 9:00 p.m.This week, BUFF is showing an ultra trippy, French/Czech animated movie, Fantastic Planet (La Planete sauvage)! This animated tale follows the relationship between the small human-like Oms and their much larger blue-skinned oppressors, the Draags, who rule the planet of Ygam. While the Draags have long kept Oms as illiterate pets, this hierarchy shifts after an Om boy becomes educated, thanks to a young female Draag. This leads to an Om rebellion, which weakens the Draag control over their race. Will the Oms and the Draags find a way to coexist? Or will they destroy each other? This groundbreaking, surreal film has been highly regarded for its psychedelic imagery and cut out stop motion animation. Come check out this weird, landmark film this Thursday!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkIAkDsiUooFriday, November 18Event: CCB '17 Presents: 90's Senior PromLocation: Sayles HallTime: 10:00 p.m.- 2:00 a.m.Brown Class Board 2017 presents Senior Prom.
