To celebrate 30 years making of Japanese films, the Japan Foundation brings Glimpses of Japan, a series of film screenings and discussions, to Sydney’s shores.
This October, the event will showcase four short cultural classics that aim to capture the essence of Japan’s bygone era. Produced in the '70s and' 80s, these films capture the essence of the era through interviews with locals in cities like Tokyo and explore this less frequently shown time Japanese culture. Following the screening, audiences can engage in a series of discussions with specialists in Japanese studies, focusing on issues such as youth culture, manga and family life in Japan.
Glimpses of Japan will be held on Wednesdays, 6, 13, 20 and 27 October from 6:30-8pm, at the Multipurpose Room of The Japan Foundation, L1 Chifley Plaza, 2 Chifley Square, Sydney. Admission is free but bookings are essential. Visit their website for more information.
