The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2023, the largest Japanese Film Season in the UK, will kick start next month.

With an exciting line-up, most of which have only recently been released, but also some masterpieces from the distant past, all of which share connections to the themes taken up in the past, the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2023 explores the theme of “the evolution of Japanese cinema”. Audiences will be provided with food for thought: Where has Japanese cinema come from? What is its current position in the world of cinema? And where is it heading next?

Come and see some of Japan’s finest cinematic works, showcasing varied tones and styles, as well as the diverse skills of both experienced and emerging film talents.
