  The 2013 Japan Film Festival will provide a significant opportunity for American audiences to see what Japan is all about and for Japanese people themselves to look at their own culture from different perspectives and reflect upon what it means to be Japanese. Cinema is the bridge that connects people!

  
  

  Through this festival, JFFLA hopes to help strengthen the understanding of contemporary Japanese culture within American shores as well as encourage communication and the exchange of ideas between Japan and the U.S.
  

  
  

  20 films will be screened - including US Premier movies, dramas and documentaries.
