As head of the Tatar-Japanese cultural and information center "Sakura" Asiya Sadykova said, the Days of Japanese cinema in Kazan are a traditional and expected event.
“Japanese cinema has its own audience, and the age is very different. As you know, Japanese cinema is one of the best in the world. And what the Japanese Embassy in Russia usually represents is, on the one hand, a very kind movie and at the same time, a philosophical one. The films tell how the people of Japan react to different life situations. Among the films - there are also animation ones, which is also important for the development of animated cinema in Tatarstan, ”Asiya Sadykova noted.
The program opened with Tatsushi Omori's film "Every day is a good day."
