Zipangu Fest (ジパング・フェスト) is the first UK-wide festival devoted to Japanese film, introducing works new and old, many previously unseen by mainstream UK film audiences, to demonstrate the many identities of Japan as depicted by some of the country’s most exciting and revered talents.
Zipangu Fest operates as a UK-registered non-profit organisation, formed in the best interest of developing a new appreciation in the UK of Japanese film talents.
