Japanese Film Festival Singapore 2010 spotlights on YOUTH and brings 31 Singapore Premieres of groundbreaking Japanese classics, independent cinema and awarding-winning films to Singapore from August 19 to 29

The Embassy of Japan and Singapore Film Society present the Japanese Film Festival 2010 - an eleven-day celebration of Japanese films - in Singapore. From August 19-29, festival-goers will be treated to films - all of which have not been shown in Singapore - that offer a rare glimpse into the Japanese film history, its culture and its filmmakers’ commentaries on the joys and perils of Youth. This year, the festival returns to the Gallery Theatre located in the National Museum of Singapore.

Youth, this fleeting age of innocence, is a period of change and at the same time, a celebration of life - renewal and creation. In this selection of films on youth and by youths, each filmmaker creates and reveals a unique new perspective in each film.

This year, our festival will attempt to capture the Youth in Japanese Cinema through showcasing:

1) Works of directors who led the revolutionary change in the 1960s which became known as the Japanese New Wave – a major turning point in the history of Japanese cinema
2) Works by young, aspiring directors birthed from 2 current initiatives in Japan: the PIA Film Festival in Tokyo and the VIPO’s NDJC program. The independently funded PIA Film Festival has gained much acclaim in its mission to discover and nurture young talents. Under the VIPO Program, government-linked organisations commissions and supports films by young directors.
3) Latest award-winning films from up-and-coming Japanese filmmakers that are blazing a trail in the international film circuit.
