That means five days of cinematic pleasure for you.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s focus lies on Japanese <strong>Cinema of great emotion<\/strong>. The <strong>loss of innocence<\/strong> can bring a single life to the verge of desperation or can cause the destruction of a whole society. Whether it&#8217;s all engulfing love or powerful emotions in the face of an existential threat, Japan&#8217;s directors dedicate themselves to the dramatic escape of big emotions stemming from social conventions: In the case of Japanese reality of life, which is based on the control of strong emotions, a cinematic outlet. In particular, this bravery, to face the great emotions unreservedly, fascinates the fans of Japanese cinema around the world. The opening movie alone is a good example of that, since it is an existential drama, showing people in an emotional exceptional situation. The life of a young girl falls to pieces because of a traumatic event. Lost innocence in the face of a threatening world. The world premiere of <a href=\"\/en\/2017\/innocent-blood\/\" class=\"movietitlebold\">Innocent Blood<\/a> in the presence of director <strong>Michihito Fuji<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/en\/2017\/7s\/\" class=\"movietitlebold\">7th<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/2017\/where-is-the-better-future-of-a-fake-town\/\/\" class=\"movietitlebold\">Where is the better Future<\/a>) will, on the 31st of May at <strong>Metropolis Kino<\/strong>, usher in five exciting festival days.

Directors like Seijun Suzuki, Kinji Fukasaku and Masahiro Shinoda represent the genre's golden age. Contemporary cinema by directors like Takeshi Kitano and Takeshi Miike would be inconceivable without its existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<pre><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Shinjuku-Swan-3.1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9365 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Shinjuku-Swan-3.1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Shinjuku Swan 3.1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Outrage-Beyond-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9536 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Outrage-Beyond-7-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Outrage Beyond 7\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, making the bizarre archaic rituals in an underworld marked by violence and subordination even more fascinating to cinema-goers. Ostracism of organized criminals is pervasive in Japanese society. And it\u2019s precisely the tragic protagonists of this shadow world who provide filmmakers with the opportunity to show individuals exploding the tight corset of societal norms. It\u2019s no coincidence that the dissolution of strict hierarchies and the rebellion of a young generation of gangsters are central motifs of most Yakuza films. Confrontations typically end in an excess of on-screen violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Though Yakuza cinema has always been present at JFFH, we have neglected to focus on this particularly varied genre \u2013 until now. In 2016, we present a whole series of current productions, providing viewers with a small impression of the abyss that is Japan\u2019s criminal underworld, and its on-screen representation. Naturally we can\u2019t exclude the most recent works of filmmakers who represent the Yakuza genre more than any others: director legend Takeshi Kitano (<span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/outrage-beyond\/\">Outrage Beyond<\/a><\/span>), cinematic berserker Takashi Miike (<span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/yakuza-apocalypse-the-great-war-of-the-underworld\/\">Yakuza Apocalypse<\/a><\/span>) and Sion Sono, infamous for pushing the envelope of acceptability (<span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/shinjuku-swan\/\">Shinjuku Swan<\/a><\/span>, <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/tokyo-tribe\/\">Tokyo Tribe<\/a><\/span>, <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/why-dont-you-play-in-hell\/\">Why Don't You Play in Hell?<\/a><\/span>, <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/tag\/\">Tag<\/a><\/span>). Seven of their latest films can be experienced at the 17th JFFH.<\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Our successful anime selection expands<\/strong>\n\n\n<pre><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Miss-Hokusai-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9587\" src=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Miss-Hokusai-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Miss Hokusai 1\" width=\"284\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Marnie-8.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9515\" src=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Marnie-8-300x163.png\" alt=\"Marnie 8\" width=\"295\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Following last year's hugely successful anime focus, the 17th JFFH will be giving Japanese animation its deserved space once again. The mesmerizing worlds conceived by Japanese animation studios are covering the full range of genres: from dystopic science-fiction, epic historical or fantasy drama to breathtaking action and fervent romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Hiromasa Yonebayashi's <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/erinnerungen-an-marnie-when-marnie-was-there\/\">When Marnie Was There<\/a><\/span>, the tentatively final masterpiece by Studio Ghibli is accompanied by another noteworthy highlight, <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/the-kingdom-of-dreams-and-madness\/\">The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness<\/a><\/span>. The documentation, which provides unique insights into the work of Japanese animation magicians Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, might be considered obligatory viewing by fans of legendary Studio Ghibli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Furthermore, we are especially happy to present <span class=\"movietitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jffh.de\/2016\/sarusuberi-miss-hokusai\/\">Sarusuberi: Miss Hokusai<\/a><\/span>, the latest creation of award-winning director Keiichi Hara.
