[KineJapan] Miwa Nishikawa will be a guest of Female Japanese Directors Retrospective at Five Flavours Film Festival in Warsaw

[Jagoda Murczyńska]

Dear Kinejapaners,

please find info about the Retrospective of Female Japanese Directors at
Five Flavours Film Festival taking place 12-20th November in Warsaw,
Poland.
There are many cheap flights to Warsaw from most European countries, so
maybe someone will consider a visit - please contact me if you want any
informations! :)

This year's special Festival guest is Miwa Nishikawa – director and
screenwriter, author of brilliant novels, who started her career as
Hirokazu Koreeda's assistant. Considered an heir to the humanistic current
of Japanese cinema and to masters such as Yasuhiro Ozu or Mikio Naruse, she
puts a special emphasis on the psychological aspects of her characters,
looking closely at the ethical choices they make, and showing the intricate
net of relationships between truth and lies. Nishikawa is a laureate of
many prestigious awards, including The Japanese Academy, Kinema Junpo and
Mainichi critics, Blue Ribbon Award, and awards for screenplays and
directing at Yokohama Film Festival.
