NIPPON CINEMA
In 2006 more then 400 domestic films were released in Japan, and for the first time in 21 years Japanese films were more successful then Hollywood productions at the Japanese box office. Critically as well, Japanese films are gathering more acclaim than in a long time. For seven years Nippon Connection has aspired to make Japanese films better known in Europe, so for us the success of Japanese films is a reason to celebrate – and an opportunity to present once again a Nippon Cinema selection with first class films.
