Next month, New York Japan CineFest<\/a> returns to Asia Society for two nights of short films by emerging Japanese and Japanese American filmmakers, highlighting some of the most exciting new voices in cinema today.<\/p>\n

This annual festival was originally founded by two filmmakers, Yasu Suzuki and Kosuke Furukawa, and event producer Hiroshi Kono of Mar Creation, Inc. It debuted in 2012, and this year\u2019s event is presented by Mar Creation and Citi Series on Asian Arts and Culture, offering 13 short films ranging from five to 40 minutes each. While there are no official categories for New York Japan CineFest, genres include drama, comedy, documentary, animation, and stop-motion animation.<\/p>\n

Standouts include TOKYO COSMO<\/em>, an anime study on loneliness; Fall Seven Times, Get Up Eight: The Japanese War Brides<\/em>, a real-life story about a trio of women who left Japan in the 1950s to start a new life in America; and Keino<\/em>, a documentary about the eponymous custom motorcycle builder of Brooklyn\u2019s Keino Cycles.<\/p>\n

All of this year\u2019s films were originally released in the last two years. Many are debuting for the first time in New York, and a reception sponsored in part by Kirin Brewery of America will follow the first night\u2019s screenings.<\/p>\n

New York Japan CineFest will be held June 2-3 at Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue. For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
