Announcing the 28th Japanese Film Festival!
Spring has arrived! That means it’s time for the much anticipated Japanese Film Festival.
The Embassy of Japan in South Africa together with Japan Foundation brings you four exciting films about family, living with difficulties, and protecting what you love.
It starts next month, 14 – 16 October at Rosebank Nouveau cinema in Johannesburg. If you miss it there, you can catch it again on 4 – 6 November at Labia Theater in Cape Town.
The first of the films showing, The Lone Ume Tree, is a touching drama following the lives of an autistic man and his mother.
The House of the Lost on the Cape is an animated film about two girls adrift in the world until they are taken in by an old lady to stay in her mysterious house on the coast.
A Long Goodbye is a family drama about coping with memory loss and saying goodbye.
We end off with Cinematic Liars of Asahi-za, an uplifting drama about a small group of people trying to save a 100 year old cinema.
Two weekends. Four films. Reels of fun!
