Dear All,
We are very excited to announce the programme of Japan Now North 24th Feb - 1st March 2018.

Events take place across the city, including talks with renowned filmmaker and photographer Mika Ninagawa, writers Richard Lloyd Parry, Mariko Nagai and Tomoyuki Hoshino and an exhibition and workshop with Japan-based photographer and visual artist Suzanne Mooney. We will also welcome documentary filmmakers Megumi Sasaki and the Peabody award-winning Kyoko Miyake, and host the UK premiere of Sasaki’s documentary A Whale of a Tale.
