Hana Sugisaki, Taiga, Satoru Kawaguchi, Chizuru Ikewaki and Jun Kunimura have joined the cast of the anthology film TEN YEARS JAPAN (十年). It is due out in Japan in autumn 2018 and featured some of the top and emerging directors and actors working in contemporary Japanese cinema.
The project is being produced by the iconic Hirokazu Koreeda with segements directed by Chie Hayakawa (Niagara), Yusuke Kinoshita (Water Flower), Megumi Tsuno, Akiyo Fujimura (Eriko, Pretended), and Kei Ishikawa (Gukoroku: Traces of Sin).
Following the success of the 10 Year project from Andrew Choi, following the Umbrella Protest and a chronicle of Hong Kong in 10 years, a group of Thai filmmakers have gathered together to envisage a similar series of shorts called Ten Years in Thailand.
The various stories tackle everything from population ageing to technology, artificial intelligence, air pollution, and compulsory military service.
Other cast members include Kinuwo Yamada, Tetsushi Tanaka, and Hana Kino. A terrific breakdown of each of the segments can be found over at the invaluable AsianWiki.
