The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2025 (JFTFP25), the UK's largest festival dedicated to Japanese cinema, is set to return across multiple cities from 7 February to 31 March. This year's edition explores the theme of “Justice, Justification and Judgement in Japanese Cinema,” showcasing a diverse selection of films that tackle crime, morality, and societal values.
Manchester's Home will host the JFTFP from 17 February to 6 March, bringing a carefully curated selection of films to the North West. Highlights include “Stay Mum”, an emotional mystery about a woman who takes in an abused child under false pretences, and “Day and Night”, which questions the boundaries of good and evil through the story of a man drawn into a world of crime.
JFTFP25 offers an extensive range of films that interrogate justice, morality, and human behaviour, making it one of the most compelling film festivals of the year and an unmissable opportunity for film enthusiasts eager to explore Japan's rich cinematic landscape.
