Japan Society is back once again to host this summer’s installation of Japan Cuts with a list of feature film premieres. Surely enough, you can count on the action genre getting some attention as well with titles like Strayer’s Chronicle, Snow On The Blades (a.k.a. Revenge Of The Pomegranate Tree Hill), and Neko Samurai 2. Yep, and that’s ten whole days of exciting new Japanese cinema and more with special guests in attendance, and it all begins on July 9.
North America’s largest festival of Japanese cinema, JAPAN CUTS presents the A to Z of new film made in and around Japan for its exciting and expanded ninth edition. Premiering a thrilling slate of blockbusters and independent features never before seen in NYC, JAPAN CUTS redefines itself with fresh sections on documentary, new classics, avant-garde and more special guest stars and auteurs than ever, with a focus on the rebellious edge of contemporary Japan. Don’t miss a moment of this frenetic 10-day festival filled with outrageous comedies, action epics, heart-wrenching dramas, radical documentaries, brooding romances, psychedelic animation and otherworldly fantasy, plus parties, award ceremonies, drink, food and live music!
Tickets are now available along with a special offer from Japan Society for $2 discount with the purchase of five tickets, but you’ll have to call it in or make the arrangements at the box-office. You can find out plenty more at the official website listing all the coming titles, and most of them have new trailers now viewable in the playlist beneath.
