ABOUT JDFF


A celebration of cinema and the relationship between the two countries

Denmark and Japan: the countries with very different histories that go 1000s years back. However, there's something these two countries really have in common. The world famous history in cinema, and that is something we wish to celebrate.

One has Lars Von Trier, the other has Akira Kurosawa… and the list goes on!

It's time to celebrate by showing the best films from the two countries to one another through an annual film festival. One in Denmark and one in Japan.
