The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly presents Japanese Film Festival 2019 (JFF) from 8 November to 31 December 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

During the JFF’s special film screenings (Aug – Oct 2019) in these cities which has just ended last weekend, many audience was wondering if the Japanese film festival would have been held again this year. YES! This annually planned event still happens this autumn and winter. 10 new Japanese films with different titles were selected. We hope Vietnamese audiences will enjoy these films and deepened their interest in Japan through the Japanese Film Festival 2019.
