Film Curation Matching for Japanese Cinema
Interested in running a Japanese film program, but not sure who the rights-holders are or where the screening copies are?
Why not talk directly to Japanese film rights owners to see what film packages they are offering? During key film markets, matchmakers will arrange one-on-one meetings between companies presenting film packages and film programmers from around the world.
