From Feb 14th to Feb 27th the [Japanese Film Festival Online](https://jff.jpf.go.jp/watch/jffonline2022/) (which is one portion of the Japanese Film Festival JFF, according to the website) will take place online, with 20 free movies! Weirdly it’s only available in a select handful of countries: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/8/2/6/826fa81c6c7835c91b390c92be580fefd7a3db4e.png) Happy watching 😊 If you want to watch together with others, [here is a poll for that](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/55687/20)! ---

Ah shame that it’s not the UK. We have the Japan Foundation Touring Film programme here which was online last year so I got to see all the films, but this year it’s back to being in cinemas only so I can only go and see one as there’s no cinemas near me taking part 😢 ---

Yep, I’ve been looking forward to that. Already made a list of the films I want to see. Also, this isn’t **the** Japanese Film Festival, but rather a sort of off-season online mini version. (I actually missed last year’s festival here. Just never really got around to making the time to see anything…) ---

Hopefully this will work over VPN, as it is not properly available in my country. ---

As the website says: “JFF, or Japanese Film Festival, is a project of the Japan Foundation created with the aim to share the excitement of Japanese cinema with the world.” And of course, Japan itself is not part of the world 🤷‍♀️ ---

Count me in! I need to finish watching trailers but I’m already excited about Masked Ward. Sakaguchi did a great job in Signal so I’m sure he’d kill it in a thriller. ---

Pretty interesting films judging by the trailers. At least the few trailers I watched all seemed interesting. Thank you for the link I will definitely watch some of these while they are available. ---

Luckily, the movies themselves aren’t simply uploaded to YouTube. 😛 Happy Flight is good fun, though. I watched it a fair while ago - plan to watch it again if I’ve got the time. ---
