(Note: Competition now closed; thankyou for entering)
From romance to chilling thrillers and Samurai sagas, the 14th Japanese Film Festival will screen a variety of Australian premieres from some of Japan’s most talented filmmakers.
Opening the 14th festival will be About Her Brother, the new film from internationally acclaimed director Yoji Yamada (Twilight Samurai, Love and Honor, Tora-san series). Ginko’s younger brother Tetsuro, a failed comedian, is the oddball of the family. Embarrassing, loud and plain inappropriate at times causes Ginko to disown him. The two reunite when she discovers Tetsuro is terminally ill. Tetsuro’s impending death marks the beginning of love and toleration. About Her Brother is a heartfelt story of the bonds between a brother and sister, traversing the spectrum of emotions from laughter to tears of sadness.
