With Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a multitude of other self-promotion tools I don't highlight a lot of J-film events on the blog anymore, but here's a brief roundup of a few exciting looking festivals.
The following trailer for JAPAN CUTS Festival of Contemporary Japanese Cinema (July 1-16) impressed me, as did this year's 24-title lineup.
With the New York Asian Film Festival kicking off tomorrow (June 25-July 8) it'll be a three week J-film moriawase in NYC. Also check out NYAFF's own kaiju-inspired trailer.
In my old stomping grounds of Toronto, literally walking distance from where I grew up, the second edition of the Shinsedai Cinema Festival (July 22-25) kicks off in just under a month. The films are programmed by my old cohort Jasper Sharp and Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow blogmaster Chris Magee. Tickets are on sale now.
For those based in Asia, the Japanese Film Festival Singapore takes place from August 19-29. The lineup should be announced very soon, after which I'll update this entry.
