NIPPON CINEMA
In 2007 more than 400 domestic films were released in Japan, and they were nearly as successful as Hollywood productions at the Japanese box office. Japanese films are gathering more acclaim than in a long time and no festival will be complete without screening at least some of them. For eight years NIPPON CONNECTION has aspired to make Japanese films better known in Europe, so for us the success of Japanese films is a reason to celebrate – and an opportunity to present once again a NIPPON CINEMA selection with first class films.
