organizes an annual film series during which Japanese films are screened
at educational and cultural institutions across the United States. The
goal of the series is for those curious about
or interested in Japan to have the opportunity to learn more about
Japanese culture and society through film. </span></div>

physical copies of the films in DVD or Blu-ray format to the various
institutions which were then rotated around with the other participating
institutions. However, due to COVID-19, we decided
it was best to hold the film festival online for safety purposes this
year.</span></div>
