It seeks to connect the Japanese film industry with the Asia-Pacific film market while providing a platform for film enthusiasts to meet online and offline. Additionally, the festival increases interest in Japanese cinema while creating new film markets.

The Japanese Film Festival (JFF), which started in 1983, is one of Singapore’s oldest country-based film festivals. It is a gateway for many into the wondrous world of Japanese cinema and culture.

JFF aims to showcase the best of Japanese contemporary and classic cinema. The festival is curated in hopes that film will raise awareness of and interest in Japanese culture in its many diverse manifestations. This year’s festival welcomes a diverse line-up that showcases uniquely charming, powerful, unsettling, and intimate stories of human relationships and lived experiences.

This year, they are celebrating the 41st anniversary of JFF in Singapore. This year’s theme is “Continuity,” a celebration of the seamless interplay between tradition and modernity in Japanese cinema and the ongoing and interlaced relationship between past and present.

This year’s programme emphasises the unfolding dialogue between the past and the present, offering audiences a rich tapestry of films that honour cinematic legacies while embracing contemporary narratives.
