ABOUT THE TORONTO JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL
2014
“I am very thankful to the JCCC. This [festival] is definitely one of the reasons I am
a filmmaker: to be able to actually connect to the feelings of all these people in a
place so distant from Japan. I will certainly do my best to be invited to the Toronto
Japanese Film Festival again!”
Daihachi Yoshida, Winner Japanese Academy Award Best Film, Best Director
2013, guest at TorontoJFF 2013
Now in its third year, the Toronto Japanese Film Festival showcases the finest Japanese
films that have been recognized for excellence by Japanese audiences and critics,
international film festival audiences and the Japanese Film Academy. Programming
addresses popular genres such as historical (samurai) jidaigeki, contemporary dramas,
comedies and action, literary adaptations, children’s, and anime films. All films shown are
North American, Canadian, or Toronto premieres.
The Toronto Japanese Film Festival’s mandate has been carefully aligned with that of the
Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. In the 51 years since the opening of the JCCC, film has
been an important tool in creating friendship, understanding, and exchange between the
Japanese and broader Canadian communities. Ticket sales from the festival also help to
drive our heritage programming which shares the important lessons of cultural acceptance
and human rights, implicit in the Japanese Canadian experience with all Canadians.
Our 2012 and 2013 festivals attracted large crowds - exit surveys indicated that audiences
genuinely enjoyed the films, and represented a broad demographic. With lectures,
receptions, gallery exhibitions, and performances that were part of the two-week festival,
our visitors numbered in the tens of thousands.
For our 2014 festival, we have worked hard to find a wide range of films that represent
the broad spectrum of great cinema created in Japan. We have an exciting line-up this
year; we invite you to be a part of this stunning festival, and enjoy some of the best that
Japanese film has to offer.

ABOUT THE JAPANESE CANADIAN CULTURAL CENTRE
2014
Now in its 51st year, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) serves as the gathering point for the Japanese Canadian
community and for those of non-Japanese ancestry who have an interest in things Japanese.
The JCCC offers a wide variety of Japanese cultural programs for its 4,400 members and 200,000 annual visitors: film screenings,
traditional and contemporary Japanese performance, festivals, art and history exhibitions, Japanese language classes and a
wide range of courses and workshops in traditional Japanese cultural arts and music. The JCCC also boasts a state-of-theart Dojo where over 600 members pursue 8 different martial arts disciplines. The JCCC houses the Ikebata Daycare Centre,
Japanese Social Services, Nikkei Voice, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, Judo Ontario and one of Toronto’s finest
Japanese restaurants, Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto.
While the majority of Japanese Canadians are born in Canada, the past 10 years has seen a large influx of ethnic Japanese
immigrants. The JCCC helps these new Canadians connect to a larger community network and facilitates friendship with
Canadians from all segments of society. The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre is truly a multicultural centre which, in the
spirit of its motto ‘Friendship through Culture’, also hosts numerous events in collaboration with cultural groups that do not have
cultural facilities of their own.
The JCCC model is based on inclusion - in fact, almost half of the Centre’s members are of non-Japanese ancestry. The JCCC
is also home to the Discover Japan Educational Program which hosts 15,000 school children annually. Among the many guests
we have welcomed in these 50-plus years were Their Majesties, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, who graced us with a visit
in the summer of 2009.
As we enter our second half-century, the Centre has evolved into one of the largest and most vibrant Japanese cultural centres in
the world. This year sees the opening of the Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre, an important new initiative that takes the Japanese
Canadian heritage story to a global audience and links it to the greater Japanese diaspora for broader awareness.
Through our expanding facility and programming, of which the Toronto Japanese Film Festival plays an important role, we look
forward to continuing to share the story of the Japanese Canadians, and connect all Canadians to the exciting richness of
Japanese culture, both traditional and contemporary.

MESSAGE FROM THE JCCC
T O R O N T O J A PA N E S E F I L M F E S T I V A L
2014
It is with great excitement that we welcome everyone to the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre’s third
annual Toronto Japanese Film Festival.
Our 2014 line-up again reflects the films that resonate with Japanese audiences, critics and Japanese
Academy Award judges. There are also many titles recommended by members of the Japanese
community as those they would like to share with Canadian audiences. I think you will find our festival
provides a good cross section of the very diverse Japanese film industry. Through our affiliations with
many of Canada’s top film distribution companies, we hope this festival is but the first step toward
boarder exposure to North American audiences. In our first two years we attracted large and diverse
crowds and much positive reaction to the films. We are confident you will find much to enjoy in this
year’s line-up too.
This festival could not take place without an enormous amount of generosity and cooperation from
organizations such as Shiseido Canada, the RBC Foundation, the Japan Foundation, SONY Canada,
Hitachi Canada and Subaru Canada to name a few; and of course from the JCCC’s tireless volunteers,
supporters and staff. Special thanks too, to our co-director, Japanese Canadian filmmaker Chris Hope,
and co-programmer/acquisition coordinator Aki Takabatake.
Since its inception in 1963, the motto of the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre has been, “Friendship
through Culture.” The JCCC’s Toronto Japanese Film Festival acts as an engine for creating - among
all Canadians - an enhanced sense of understanding, friendship and goodwill towards Japan, its people,
and the many Japanese organizations whose investment so positively contributes to the quality of
Canadian life.

Friday June 13 • 7:00pm • 130 min / 2014 Director: Takashi Miike • Canadian Premiere
Rookie Reiji Kikukawa, an impossibly incompetent young police constable,
is fired for being the most inept cop on the force, then immediately rehired
as an undercover agent or “mole”. His mission: to infiltrate the Sukiya-kai,
Japan’s most nefarious yakuza clan. Reiji uncovers a drug smuggling scheme
and becomes entangled in all-out war with a rival mob. At the same time he
pleads with beautiful policewoman Junna to help him lose his virginity. Director
Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, Hara-kiri, Audition) brings Noburo Takashashi’s
hit manga to life with non-stop action, bawdy comedy, bizarre characters,
and some of the most garish fashion choices ever committed to film.
Insane, wildly over-the-top and lots of fun for fans of Miike or manga at its
most cartoonish! Starring Toma Ikuta, Riisa Naka, Takayuki Yamada, Yusuke
Kamiji, Takashi Okamura, Shinichi Tsutsumi.

Love’s Whirlpool
愛の渦
Friday June 13 • 9:30pm • 123 min / 2014 Director: Daisuke Miura • North American Premiere
Based on his novel, and later internationally-acclaimed stage production,
Daisuke Miura’s controversial film looks at a diverse group of 4 men and
4 women - all strangers - who meet at a high-end Roppongi apartment to
engage in an evening of promiscuous sexual activity. The film studies the
group dynamics, conflicts, rivalries and even romance as the night proceeds.
At times funny, frightening, touching and sad, the film is a study of loneliness,
alienation and the inability to create meaningful human connection.
Despite the characters’ obsession with the sexual, this film aims for
the viewer’s emotions and intellect. Featuring fearless and affecting
performances by Sosuke Ikematsu, Mugi Kadowaki, Hirofumi Arai, Kenichi
Takito, Ryusuke Komakine and Tokio Emoto.
18+ - This film is unrated but may only be viewed by persons 18 years
of age or older. In Japanese with English subtitles.

Japan’s two major film magazines. Yuuichi, nicknamed Pecoross for his bald

salesman, and a struggling manga artist living in Nagasaki.

away 10 years earlier... The film depicts their daily life with warmth, humour and

The Apology King
謝罪の王様
Monday June 16 • 7:00pm • 128 min / 2013 Director: Nobuo Mizuta • Toronto Premiere
“Somehow walking the line between deadpan goofiness and heartstringtugging earnestness, “The Apology King” is a wonderfully funny ode
to sincerity.”
Charles Webb, TWITCHFILM.COM
Nobuo Mizuta‘s manic and hilarious comedy looks at the Japanese obsession
with good manners, particularly the perfect apology. Kurojima, director of
the Tokyo Apology Centre, applies his apology techniques to save clients
from simple arbitration, through human resources disasters, to averting an
international crisis.

Why Don’t You Play in Hell?
地獄でなぜ悪い
Wednesday June 18 • 7:00pm • 128 min / 2013 Director, Writer: Sion Sono • TIFF Encore Screening
Director Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Cold Fish, Land of Hope) is back with the
kind of film that made him a cult phenomenon. As two rival yakuza gangs go to
war, one of the bosses orders a rag-tag film crew – the F**k Bombers - to make
a movie of the bloody conflict with his lethal daughter in the starring role! All
this in order to appease his murderous but beloved wife who is only days away
from release from prison. A surreal, deliriously hyper-violent comedy, a heart-felt
tribute to Sono’s own on-the-fly renegade filmmaking past and the deserving
recipient of TIFF’s People’s Choice Award th the Midnight Madness section.
Starring Jun Kunimura, Shinichi Tsutsumi, Hiroki Hasegawa, Gen Hoshino and
Fumi Nikaido
This film is rated 18A for graphic violence.

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 35th Moscow International Film

and Kanako. Watanabe, a reporter also investigating the case, discovers
a shocking sex crime in Shunsuke’s past. But what relevance could this
history have to present circumstances? An unforgettable, brutal and
harrowing exploration of “the extremities of love.”Starring Yoko Maki, Shima

Wednesday June 25 • 7:00pm • 105 min / 2014 Director: Satoshi Nagai • North American Premiere
In this hit screwball comedy, Kiichiro Ota, a hapless employee of a top
advertising agency, is ordered by his slimy boss to participate at the Santa
Monica International Advertising Festival. There he must act as both a
member of the jury and win the Grand Prix award for his own (terrible)
TV ad. He is paired with highly effective co-worker Hikari, and together
they attend endless parties lobbying for their firm’s commercial. Hilarity and
romance ensue as they are immediately mistaken for a married couple.
Kiichiro finds out that he will be fired if he doesn’t win the Grand Prix, and
Hikari uses multiple tactics to win the votes needed save Kiichiro’s job.
This high energy, and ultimately heart-warming farce delivers non-stop
laughter and winning, manic performances from some of Japan’s top
actors including Satoshi Tsumabuki, Keiko Kitagawa, Lily Franky, Kyoka
Suzuki, Etsushi Toyokawa and Yoshiyoshi Arakawa.

YOSHIHIRO NAKAMURA
Director - The Snow White Murder Case
Yoshihiro Nakamura is one of Japan’s most prolific and successful
contemporary directors and screenwriters. He was born in Ibaraki Prefecture
in 1970 and studied at Seijo University. In 1993 he won the PIA Film Festival’s
Grand Prix runner-up award with Summer Rain Kitchen and has since he
worked as assistant director on films with Yoichi Sai, Hideyuki Hirayama

KAISEKI YU-ZEN HASHIMOTO: Opening Reception and Washoku Workshops
Conde Naste Traveller magazine asked, “Is this the most extraordinary restaurant in the world?”
Many would agree that it is, including the critics who have called Hashimoto one of the finest
restaurants in North America. In 2013 UNESCO added Washoku (Japanese Cuisine) to its Intangible
Cultural Heritage list. It is appropriate then, that Hashimoto presents our opening reception with
tastings of the Kaga Ryori style of cooking featured in the opening film “A Tale of Samurai Cooking.”
In the weeks, prior to, during and following the festival, Hashimoto will offer a series of workshops
on Washoku touching on topics such as Kyooh Ryori 饗応料理 and Honzen Ryori 本膳料理.
For more information go to: www.kaiseki.ca or email at [email protected].

MORIYAMA NIKKEI HERITAGE CENTRE
While enjoying the festival make sure to visit the newly opened Moriyama Nikkei Heritage
Centre: a dynamic, inclusive and interactive space designed to share the history and heritage
of the Japanese Canadian community and act as a hub for the Nikkei experience internationally.
Ours is a story of courage, determination, pride and resilience, as well as striking incidents
of persecution and ultimate redress; a legacy that contains valuable lessons for Canadians
of all heritages, and for visitors wishing to benefit from the lessons learned in the world’s
most culturally diverse nation. The MNHC is a fully accessible, engaging environment
presenting the JCCC Archives collection of artefacts, photos and documents and, via new
digital technology, access to our SEDAI Project’s oral histories as well as links to the Nikkei
diaspora experience through a network of international Nikkei partner organizations.
50 years of Japanese Film Poster Art
This exhibition of film posters, from the golden age of Japanese cinema (‘50s and ‘60s)
through to current releases, offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into an intriguing art form.
Film posters are, in essence, simple advertisements for the cinematic product. But any film
lover knows they are much more than that: film art evokes a powerful sense of the time, the
culture and the audience for whom it was created – not to mention the film itself. Ranging
from the beautifully understated to the spectacularly garish, from the classic to the esoteric,
this diverse collection represents a broad spectrum of genres, graphic design trends and
iconic imagery. Selected from the collection of the Japan Foundation, Toronto.
