Additional information   Cinema is, above all, a language. This way, it is in continuous evolution: new formulas, new narratives, new technical and style conceptions. Here, at this point of experimentation and development of language, is where the Japanese cinema has a lot to say.

The films we contemplate this third year of Japan Cult Cinema, are characterised by playing and experimenting with cinematographic language. They are usual stories but told or accounted in a different and original way. They are the new visions, the 'new horizons' of the current panorama of Japanese cinema.

The retrospective includes films of 2006 to 2008, collecting, together with work of a gruop of new directors such as Hiroshi Ishikawa or Yosuke Fujita, the last proposals of famous directors that continue with their creative task in front of the camera, such as Isao Yukisada or the independent Sabu.
