Brick Lane Japan Film Festival

Nowadays in London, Japanese cultures are getting much more popular such as “Anime”, “Japanese foods” and so on. We can see Japanese restaurants everywhere and there are many Japanese events like “Tokyo Nights” and “Hyper Japan”. This event will focus on Japanese films. Many British people already know Japanese films such as “Ghibli”, films by Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu. However, there are still a lot of interesting Japanese films as well as those films. We will challenge to show new types and variety of films mainly to people in East London, and also film fans only have seen at masterpiece classic films.
