The Japanese Film Festival this year will screen 29 feature films and one captivating documentary across the country. Each city will feature a carefully curated program by The Japan Foundation, Sydney. The Festival will open with murder mystery, Masquerade Hotel, featuring iconic actor Takuya Kimura (Howl’s Moving Castle) and Japanese Academy Award-winner Masami Nagasawa (Your Name). This year’s program also features adaptations of beloved manga stories such as quirky comedy SAINT YOUNG MEN 2nd Century, which poses the question: what if Jesus Christ and Buddha were housemates in the suburbs of Tokyo? The Festival will close in Brisbane with Dance With Me, starring former Japanese idol Ayaka Miyoshi – a musical-comedy about a successful businesswoman who must rid herself of a mysterious curse that forces her to dance whenever she hears music.
