As in previous years, we invite you to immerse yourself in another world with a Japan special.
Japanese cinema has always had a very special and fascinating point of view, including samurai, yakuza and a special way of life. Since European distributors include less and less Asian films in their distribution program
we had to negotiate directly with the film companies in Japan for our festival – but the effort was worth it: The selection of films includes an offbeat Western parody, a very elaborately produced anime as a pure festival production and a film that packs the history of the emergence of Japanese cinema into an extraordinary story.
