Similar to the Korean Film Festival (Aus only) though this one is unlikely to cancel by the time it gets to Australia, as it's running in other countries first (available in 20 countries https://watch.jff.jpf.go.jp/page/schedule-and-countries/). You need to make an account.

From memory they have trailers links (not this time/yet so far) but 75% of the time there are no subtitles on trailers… but all the movies will have English sub.

Visit the deal link for Australia's schedule: Screening starts 2pm 4 December 2020 AEDT

  Railways is good.

  I like that you have 24 hours to watch the film.

  Films are available for 24 hours only, from the scheduled starting times.
  You will no longer be able to playback films when they reach the 24-hour expiration limit.

  Hmmm.
  On the surface it looks good: easy registration, free, 24hour window to play titles, good video-bandwidth options from 576p-1080p, optional subtitles…

  And THEN we get into the actually-trying-to-play-them: can't use this browser with that operating system, supposedly due to "technical issues"…

  KOFFIA, MIFF, SFF had no issues with the same platform… but JFF unfortunately dropped the ball. Seems like it's only a token offer, with no effort made to accommodate the 000s (or millions?) of users who don't meet those stringent criteria.

  Anyway, sour grapes aside, hope whoever does get them going enjoys the films.

    Agreed. Please remove my positive vote (at least I'm not negging it). Absolutely nothing I can use.

    KOFFIA went down fast cause people were downloading.

    Apparently the issue is to do with someone breaking Widevine L3 DRM in late October: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/10/google-mending-another-c…

    People were using this to make webrips from KOFFIA, which is why they had to shut it down screenings partway through.

    Googling around, some other festivals using the same Shift72 platform have the same workaround as this one: instead of cancelling completely they switched to only supporting Widevine L1, which is much more secure. But support is bad outside recent iOS/Android. Google didn't even do it in desktop Chrome and Widevine is their own product.

  The player works with Android and Chromecast, most of the films so far have been great.
