Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Japan-India diplomatic relations, the Japan
Foundation will be screening a bunch of films from Wednesday. Some of the films
being shown during the two-month long screenings are: Tomorrow, We
Shall Overcome Someday, Tombstone
for Fireflies, A Boy's
Summer in 1945, The Family Secret and Buddies.
Entry is free.
The screenings begin with director Kazuyuki Izutsu's film Nodo-Jiman on July 11. The film tells the story of a traditional Japanese pop singer who's struggling with her career.
Tomorrow is based on a novel by Mitsuharu Inoue. The film is based on a series of loosely-related vignettes of people carrying on their daily lives in Nagasaki the day before the atomic bomb was dropped.
Another Izutsu film, We Shall Overcome Someday, is set in 1968 in Kyoto and delves on the tumultuous relations between Japanese and Koreans in the 1960s. The story begins when members of a karate group of a high school insult two girls from a Korean high school. A war breaks when the Korean girls get the boys from their school to seek revenge.
Wanko is a simple story of the Noyama family that runs a small inn in Tokyo. Quartet! tells the story of a professional violinist Kai Nagae who hopes to reunite his dispersing family.
The screenings will have English subtitles. "This is a regular event wherein we screen two Japanese films every month in 16mm with English subtitles at the Japan Foundation, New Delhi auditorium," says Shailey Goyal, assistant programme officer, The Japan Foundation
