These choices ensure Toronto audiences can experience a true sense of contemporary Japan.” Takashi Yamazaki (Director, Always: Sunset on 3rd Street, The Eternal Zero, The Man Called Pirate) “The Toronto Japanese Film Festival is quickly becoming the most important window of Japanese cinema toward the world. The selection is impeccable with the dynamic of a true international film festival. My salute to all Canadians and congratulations! This is some place we, the Japanese film-makers, can look for the future of Japanese cinema.” Masato Harada (Director: Sekigahara, Kakekomi, The Emperor in August, Chronicle of My Mother) Now in its ninth year, the Toronto Japanese Film Festival has grown into one of the largest cinema events of its kind in the world, showcasing the finest Japanese films that have been recognized for excellence by Japanese audiences and critics, international film festival audiences and the Japanese Film Academy.

MARCH 22-26, 2015 The Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C. (JASW) is pleased to announce that it will present its second annual Japanese Film Festival in Washington, D.C., from Sunday, March 22 through Thursday, March 26, at the E Street Cinema. The festival, called CineMatsuri™, will screen five recent Japanese films, each in a different genre, that showcase the diversity and richness of Japanese filmmaking today. All films will be shown in Japanese with English subtitles. CineMatsuri will be held at the E Street Cinema, which the Washington Post has called the best film house in the Nation’s Capital. CineMatsuri will open on Sunday, March 22 with "Uzumasa Limelight," a moving, nostalgic portrait of the men behind the golden age of chambara films, the distinctive Samurai sword-fighting film genre for which Japan is famous. The New York Times says that Ken Ochiai, the 31-year old director who was educated at USC and NYU, conjures a sweet, simple swan song to a waning art form and those who practice it. Film screenings continue each evening at 7 pm, concluding on Thursday, March 26 with The Little House (Chiisai Ouchi), directed by the famed Yoji Yamada, which has been nominated for nine Japanese Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Further information about CineMatsuri and each film to be screened can be found on the festival’s website, at www.cinematsuri.org. Tickets are $13 per film, and should be purchased on-line at the website.
