The Japan Film Society is launching a film festival in Hollywood that will highlight current Japanese shorts and feature films.
Dubbed LA EigaFest, the festival runs Nov. 11-13 at the Mann Chinese 6 Theatres. ‘Eiga’ means film in Japanese.
Opening the program is director Yoshimasa Ishibashi’s 2011 ‘Milocrorze: A Love Story.’ Ishibashi and star Takayuki Yamada will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening.
The festival concludes with Takashi Miike’s 2011 ‘Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai 3D.’ There also will be an awards ceremony that will present the grand prize for the film judged to be the best in the competition.
A schedule and descriptions of the films playing can be found at the EigaFest website.
