Can you believe that the 25th Japanese Film Festival in Australia is almost upon us? Back in cinemas for the first time in two years, the JFF has announced its dates for 2021. 楽しみです!
This year the festival will be held from 28 October to 5 December, in Canberra (28 October – 5 November), Perth (4 – 7 Novembver), Brisbane (11 – 21 November), Melbourne (18 November – 5 December) and Sydney (25 November – 5 December).
No films have been announced yet, but expect a full program announcement on 16 September 2021.
In the meantime, we’ll look forward to covering Japanese cinema regularly at MIFF, SFF, NYAFF and JAPAN CUTS. Madman is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of Studio Ghibli‘s Spirited Away, playing in select cinemas around the country from 22 July (except for Sydney, which is still under lockdown until at least 30 July).
