The Canada Japan Society is proud to once again be a sponsor
for the TORONTO REEL ASIAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, taking place from November
5 to 15th, 2015. www.reelasian.com
This year we are co-sponsoring THREE J movies with a Japanese theme.
MISS HOKUSAI – Directed by Keiichi Hara, and based on the
manga Sarusuberi by Hinako Sugiura, this anime feature is the untold story of artist
O-Ei, aka Katsushika Oi, a free-spirited woman overshadowed by her
larger-than-life father (Katsushika Hokusai ) in the late Edo Period.

BALI BIG BROTHER – Directed by Toshio Lee, and adapted from
Sho Kuroiwa’s best seller If You Work Abroad You Can Become a Tycoon, this film
is a charming comedy with an all-star cast that transports the audience to the
tropical paradise of Bali, while reminding everyone that wealth requires
responsibility and happiness is simply a state of mind.

INITIATION LOVE – Directed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko, Initiation Love
tells the story of awkward and overweight Yuki Suzuki. Invited as a filler on group
date, he meets the pretty and disarmingly forthright Mayu (Maeda Atsuko). After
Mayu gifts him a pair of Nikes, Yuki promises to take up running and get in
shape…once he does an off-kilter love triangle ensues!
