Japanese cinema goes far beyond the enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli. The Japanese Film Festival returns this year to celebrate the breadth and depth of the country’s filmmaking, with screenings at Golden Village Suntec City and Oldham Theatre.
The line-up spans tender coming-of-age tales, thought-provoking dramas and everything in between. Opening the festival is Hayakawa Chie’s Renoir, an intimate and ethereal sophomore feature – made even more special with the director herself attending for an exclusive Q&A and masterclass.
Other highlights include Cells at Work!, 6 Lying University Students, A Girl Named Ann and many others.
