The Corona Cork Film Festival, in partnership with the Japanese Film Festival 2011 is proud to bring the best in new Japanese cinema to Cork audiences.
The Japanese Film Festival 2011, the fourth collaboration between the Embassy of Japan, access>CINEMA and the Ireland Japan Association, presents a diverse line-up of feature, documentary and animation films throughout this week.
Highlights in this year’s programme include acclaimed director Yoji Yamada’s gentle and moving Kabei Our Mother; the quirky drama Sawako Decides; award winning psychological thriller Villain; and the uniquely vibrant but tragic Memories of Matsuko from festival favourite Tetsuya Nakashima. Food enthusiasts can whet their appetites with the delightful comedy Chef Of The South Polar and the engrossing, simple documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi. Meanwhile, anime fans can look forward to the emotional and visually magnificent Colourful, as well as a special screening of the epic and surreal The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya.
