Nippon Connection Festival



Nippon Connection, the largest showcase of Japanese cinema outside of  
Japan, comes to Yale!

A cornucopian selection of the best works shown at the 2007 edition,  
held in Frankfurt, Germany, will be screened over two weeks,  
featuring major studio films, indie features and shorts, and  
experimental animation. Highlights include Maison de Himiko, the  
winner of the Nippon Connection Audience Award, a video feature by  
Sono Shion (Suicide Circle), German + Rain, one of the 10 best films  
of 2007 according to a major poll of Japanese film critics, and an  
outrageous "pink film" (soft adult movie). For more information  
please visit http://research.yale.edu/eastasianstudies/
