Cinema runs July 7 - 22, 2011 at Japan Society in Manhattan, New York City.
The World’s Largest Contemporary Japanese Film Festival displays the "diversity and vitality of one of the most exciting world cinemas, and ranging from refined, high-concept art house titles to popular and grindhouse genre movies." Ten of the films are co-presented with the New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF), and all but one of the festival‛s films are US premieres.
Japan Society’s chief film programmer and curator of the 2011 festival, Samuel Jamier, notes: "In light of the tragic events following the March 11 earthquake in Japan, this fifth edition of Japan Cuts shows the resilience and vibrancy of one of the longest-standing film industries.
