Hello Everyone!

I'm very new to Russian, but I'm picking it up alright. I understand just about all of it so far, but I've come across something that has confused me. I don't understand the difference between в and на in terms of location. I've been given a couple of examples:

Он в институте

Студенты на лекции

Could somebody please explain to me how they are different, and when to use which? The program I'm using doesn't go into detail very often. Спасибо! (:

Anyone want to try their hand at translating the following? It will appear on a flyer for NYPL that will be going up in the library and at a few establishments around the city, so please help me not to sound foolish. Thanks!

Join us at the Fort Washington Branch of the New York Public Library on the first Saturday of each month for a classic Soviet-era Russian film with English subtitles. Enjoy the old-fashioned ambience of the 8mm projector in our community room.

What is Косбенд?

Word Reference and Google Translate have failed me.

I searched for it. I think it may be something like cosplay, but I am not sure.

For example, in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMlrxljJSw
The description says:
Фестиваль: Тя Но Ю 2009.
Сценка.
Аниме: Weiss kreuz
Косбенд: Отважный маленький тостер.
Город: Москва.

What is this mystery word?

Also, short question, but was the Brave Little Toaster ever released in Russia?

 From what I understand, Wiki translates the name as "Отважный маленький тостер" but I'm not sure if this is just a translation or an actual title. As a fanatic of this movie and a Russian lover, I have a feeling that this movie in Russian would be like all my dreams come true. If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks in advance to everyone who answers!
