The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2022
2022/2/16
What Lies Beneath
The Intricate Representations of a ‘Dark Mind’ in Japanese Cinema
until 31 March 2022, nationwide
After moving online during the period of covid restrictions, The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme is back in venues across the country for 2022! The theme for this year looks at the dark depths of the human mind and via recently released contemporary works, to anime and rare classics, the programme aims to demonstrate how films, seemingly different in tone and style, have the same facet running through them and that all ultimately deal in human darkness.
- The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2022 will show case 20 Japanese films, most of which have never been screened in the UK.
- The programme will visit 27 UK cities, arguably the largest touring film programme defined by its scope within the UK.
