WE ARE YOUR BRIDGE BETWEEN ARIZONA AND JAPAN
The First Arizona Japanese Film Festival brings the best of a broad selection of Japanese cinema to Arizona in order to draw greater recognition of filmmakers, and to strengthen the ties between Arizona and Japan. By showing Japanese films, we aim to support and deepen the understanding of our cultures through the love and joy of movies.

All films that participate in the Festival will have a unique chance to showcase their Japanese films to Arizona, through the exposure and media attention we will create at this festival.

Arizona Japanese Film Festival 2023 is open to films that have been made after 2011.
Films must be in English or Japanese and subtitled. (Japanese language films must be dubbed in English and or English language films must be subtitled in Japanese.)
All lengths and genres will be considered.
