    Programme October 2020

    We’re back this October to celebrate our 10th Anniversary, all free, online and live on our YouTube Channel and via Zoom. We’re excited to present four screenings and three Zoom meetings, with four short film programmes featuring award winning film makers and emerging talents from various universities across Japan.

    We are also supporting women in film and production by implementing the F-Rated system. The F-Rating is applied to all films which are directed by women and/or written by women. The rating allows audiences to “vote with your seat” and proactively choose to go and see F-Rated films.

    In partnership with The Japan Foundation London
