The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam incorporate with BHD STAR CINEPLEX proudly presents the BHD STAR CINEPLEX JAPAN HOUR by JFF from August 7 to September 6, 2020 in Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City.

Cinema of Japan has been gaining increasing popularity in this beautiful S-shaped country thanks to the enthusiastic Japanese film fans in Vietnam. For this reason, we hope to run various other small scale Japanese film projects throughout the year other than the annually held JFFs (Japanese Film Festival).

At the JAPAN HOUR, five Japanese films across different genres such as romance, animals, samurai, family, etc. that are produced and released by famous Japanese film studio Shochiku will be screened at three cinemas of the BHD☆CINEPLEX in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hue. We hope audience enjoy the films and deepen their interest in Japan.

The festival’s opener is LOVE AND HONOR by Oscar nominated director Yamada Yoji which depicts a strong and deep love between a young samurai who loses his eyesight during a mission and his wife who eventually sacrifices herself to save her husband’s honor. The film opened in Japan with big Box Office success, projected for US$50million domestically.
