This year’s Camera Japan Festival is all about Kyushu!
Camera Japan is a festival that celebrates Japanese cinema and visual arts. The event presents more than 30 Japanese films, including recent titles.
THe cinematic festival offers "serious" fictional and documentary films alongside comedies, youth films, anime and fight films, as well as Japanese visual arts, literature and live performances.
The Camera Japan Festival will take place in Rotterdam (September 21-24) and Amsterdam (September 29 - October 1)
This year, the Camera Japan Festival will pay special attention to their second largest island Kyushu, the most southwestern part of Japan, and in many ways the country’s main connection to the rest of the world.
Here are some highlights of the programme screenings:
