The 10th anniversary of Japanese Film Festival Nippon Connection is waiting just around the corner, holding many surprises. From April 14 to 18, 2010, we will show more than 150 of the latest Japanese feature and short films, ranging from avant-garde to blockbuster, as well as a broad cultural program. For the tenth time, the biggest festival for Japanese cinema worldwide will offer exciting and innovative films, with many international premieres being presented by the film makers personally.
In a special anniversary retrospective, Nippon Connection will take a look back at ten years of great Japanese cinema that has proved to be a magnet for the audience.
