The YIDFF 2003 is coming within one year! There will be a “pre-event” for the YIDFF 2003 at the Yamagata Terrsa, a multiple-use cultural facility which opened in 2001 near the west side of Yamagata station.

At present, a best-selling author, HASE Seishu, has been selected as a guest for the pre-event together with a book critic, IKEGAMI Fuyuki, and a film director, MORI Tatsuya. HASE Seisyu’s novel, Fuyajo (“Sleepless Town”) was made into a movie, as many people probably know. We are aiming for a screening with a different flavor from those up until to now, so please invite your friends and come on out to see it.
