JFF 2025 Presents | The 1930s: When Japanese Film Found Its Voice

The Japanese Film Festival Special Series returns to the National Film and Sound Archive in 2025 and proudly presents a FREE series of films from the 1930s, a defining decade for Japanese film. Following the introduction of “talkies”, or films made with sound, directors forged new visual languages and narrative styles that would shape the nation’s film industry for generations to come.

From the 27 October - 2 November, the NFSA in Canberra will screen the films:

• An Actor's Revenge (dir. Teinosuke Kinugasa)
• Humanity and Paper Balloons (dir. Sadao Yamanaka)
• Tange Sazen and the Pot Worth a Million Ryō (dir. Sadao Yamanaka)
• The Masseurs and a Woman (dir. Hiroshi Shimizu)
• The Only Son (dir.Yasujirō Ozu)
• The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (dir. Kenji Mizoguchi)
• Wife! Be Like a Rose! (dir. Mikio Naruse)

Don't miss your chance to see these rare classic films on the big screen! Reserve your FREE tickets via the JFF website
