The final film in the Pittsburgh Film Series is Summer Wars (2009), directed by Mamoru Hosoda. Although math whiz Kenji Koiso is a social zero, his avatar flourishes in the online space of Oz -- until he accepts an e-mail request to solve a thorny equation, creating a conduit between the real and virtual worlds that may destroy both.

All films are free and open to the public! Screened in Japanese with English subtitles. More info, including maps and film trailers, at www.tinyurl.com/animepgh
