Rockin' the Quarter-Century at the East Asian Film Spectacle in Frankie D! 🎥🎉
Annual Japan Festival in Frankfurt Reaches its 25th Edition - Tokyo Celebration in Frankfurt Enters Its 25th Edition
Get ready, cinema enthusiasts! The Nippon Connection Film Festival, a whopping 25 years in the game, is gearing up to blow minds in Frankfurt am Main—starting May 27! Over six electric days, this epic shindig will hype up around 100 films and a mind-blowing cultural program, spanning ten epic venues. Expect three spectacular world premieres too!
Are you ready to jam with the opening film at the Mousonturm? It's none other than "90 Years Old - So What?" by Tetsu Maeda, kicking off the festivities with a hearty laugh. Keep an eye out for other chart-toppers like "A Samurai in Time" (time-travel comedy, anyone?), "My Sunshine" (drama with a capital D), and "Look Back" (an animated masterpiece sure to leave you speechless). This year's theme takes us on a journey exploring the blurred lines between devotion and obsession.
Prepare for an artistically inspiring experience as over 60 Japanese filmmakers, including heavyweight directors, emerging stars, and dazzling actors, treat us to their creative genius. Legendary art director Kosuke Hayashi will be honored as the festival's special guest, receiving an award in recognition of his incredible contributions to the world of film.
The festival's roots can be traced back to humble beginnings at a university in 2000, screening a mere 13 films. Fast-forward to 2023, and it welcomed roughly 19,000 visitors. As we roar into the 25th edition, things are looking like a home run with more than 4,500 tickets already snapped up in the first six days—breaking all previous records! Twelve screenings are already sold out!
