Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
One of the most exciting young directors to emerge from Japan in recent years, Nobuhiro Yamashita scored an international hit in 2005 with "Linda, Linda, Linda," a comic drama about a schoolgirl band whose lead singer drops out just before a big school festival. Since then, Yamashita has directed a segment of "Ten Nights Of Dreams" (Yume jû-ya) based on the series of short stories by Natsume Sōseki. The bizarrely comedic crime drama "The Matsugane Potshot Affair" (Matsugane ransha jiken) and the superb coming of age film, "A Gentle Breeze in the Village" (Tennen kokekko). All three films and his segment of "Ten Nights of Dreams" will show on consecutive nights for FREE! NO SIGNUP REQUIRED! ALL FILMS WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
