Across the globe, more and more people are spending the majority of time at home as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. During this unprecedented situation, The Japan Foundation believes it is even more important to share the beauty of cultural and humanistic bonds with the global community through our film project, Asian Three-Fold Mirror 2016: Reflections, co-created by three acclaimed directors from Asia. It is now available for free streaming until June 30, 2020 (JST).

 

In 2014 Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) and The Japan Foundation Asia Center jointly launched an Asia-focused film culture exchange initiative that will run until the year 2020. This endeavor aims to deepen mutual understanding within Asia, by showcasing Asian films in Japan, Japanese films in Asia, and by bringing Asian talent to the world through TIFF. Using the festival as a communication hub for the Asian film industry, it aims to build a future-oriented network in the region and to further cultural exchange. The Asian Omnibus Film Series Asian Three-Fold Mirror project has launched as part of the effort.

The first of the omnibus film series, Asian Three-Fold Mirror 2016: Reflections was co-produced by The Japan Foundation Asia Center and Tokyo International Film Festival. Under the theme "Living Together in Asia," crew and cast joined forces across national borders to reflect on the lives of characters who journey between Japan and Cambodia, the Philippines and Malaysia. Please enjoy a journey beyond space and time through this film project.
