Ten Years Japan + Director Q&A 18
Executive
produced by the acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda, Ten
Years Japan is an anthology of five short science fiction films set in
an imagined Japan ten years from now. Like a Japanese Black Mirror,
the shorts explore issues such as the aging
population, digital surveillance, “Big Data,” environmental disaster, and
rising militarism.
Varying in mood, style and artistic approach, the anthology offers fascinating insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by contemporary Japan.
We’re honoured that Chie Hayakawa, Director of the short film Plan 75 (a compelling vision of how Japan might address the ageing population issue) will be joining us for an in-person Q&A after this screening.
