This year, we have participated in Interdisciplinary IP showcase in August to exhibit our feature film ONLY SUN KNOWS, and join the Human Rights Pan-Toh market to expand the possibility of screenings for Short film UNDERCURRENT.
It was a pleasure to meet and talk to companions who works in creative business and human rights domain. Look forward to having other opportunity to get in touch with people who are interested in our project next year. Happy early New Year!

TALENTS TOKYO An initiative of the Berlin International Film Festival. Now in its 19th year, it was initiated in 2003. While the roots of Berlinale Talents are firmly planted in Berlin, new initiatives have been sprouting internationally. These Talents International editions (Talents Beirut in Lebanon, Talents Buenos Aires in Argentina, Talents Guadalajara in Mexico, Talents Durban in South Africa, Talents Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Talents Tokyo in Japan) have a similar structure and purpose to their German counterpart; all the while retaining a regional perspective embedded in a locally based international film festival. These initiatives are supported by local partners as well as the Goethe-Institut. Thanks to Sho of Normal Screen and Loneliness Book, who hold the LGBT film festival 'MAKE THE ROAD' this year, invited our short film to show in Tokyo on 9/24 15:00@GAKU. It's our premier in Japan, please check the ticket & Venue information here.
