A Special Three-Day Film Showing with English Subtitles

Subject of the screenings:
The film screenings aim to introduce Japanese culture through Japanese films with English subtitles. The Japan Foundation has been introducing Japanese films with foreign subtitles throughout the world. However, there are few chances to see subtitled Japanese films here in Japan. Through these film screenings, we would like everyone, not only Japanese people, but also those whose mother tongues are not Japanese, to enjoy the masterpieces of Japan’s great directors and to observe the great contribution of brilliant actresses to the films.
