The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2017 at QUAD

The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2017 stops off at QUAD between the 10th and 12th of February to bring audiences a chance to see nine fantastic Japanese films, none of which have been shown in the UK previously.

Taking inspiration from Charlie Chaplin’s famous quote “Life is a desire, not a meaning”, the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2017 features an all-encompassing introduction to Japanese cinema through the prism of “desires, hopes and impulses”. Presenting films by established and up-and-coming  directors, animation, documentary and classics, this year’s programme promises to not only entertain but also provide a vivid insight into what drives human action.
