In Pakistan, where young people are increasingly interested in Japanese culture, a film festival showing Japanese films has started on the 22nd, and many people have visited.
This “Japan Film Festival” was held at a movie theater in Islamabad, the local Japanese embassy, and during the opening ceremony attended by officials from the Pakistani government, Yusuke Shindo said, “A friendship between Japan and Pakistan will I want to deepen. "
In Pakistan, TV programs introducing Japanese anime are broadcast, and interest in Japanese culture is growing, especially among younger generations under 30, who are said to account for approximately two-thirds of the population.
At the film festival, the animation director who passed away in April last year, Isao Takahata's “Tomb of Fire Dripping” and NHK's continuous TV novel were broadcasted, followed by the movie “Oshin” and so on. The people who visited the venue were watching movies as if they were eating.
A 23-year-old man who was studying Japanese said, “This time I saw a Japanese movie for the first time, it was very interesting. The movie is also useful for learning Japanese.”
The “Japan Film Festival” will be held until the 28th of this month.
