For those who missed the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) earlier this year, you're in luck. Because an off-season program called JFF Fringe, which will feature four contemporary Japanese films has just been announced. The films will be screened once only over the period of May 30 - August 29, 2018 at Sydney's Event Cinemas George St and Event Cinemas Brisbane City Myer Centre.

Tickets are $15 each and are on sale at participating cinemas' box offices and online.

Screening Schedule:

May 30 - Gintama
Lightening the mood is the live-action gag-comedy Gintama, set in an alternate universe where feudal Japan is occupied by aliens.

June 27 - Honnouji Hotel
Present meets past in the Australian premiere of Honnouji Hotel, an entertaining period film with a fantasy twist.

The beautifully hand-drawn animation In This Corner of the World is a realistic and moving film that won the Japan Academy Prize 2017 for Best Animation.

August 29 - The Long Excuse
A sold-out film at JFF 2016, The Long Excuse is an introspective family drama exploring realistic human connections.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt.

Intriguing?
