The Pittsburgh Japanese Film Festival made a name for itself as one of the most prominent Asian film festivals in the Rust Belt — featuring new and classic films coming out of Japan’s innovative and prolific film industry. Hosted each spring at Row House Cinema, the festival features films from a wide variety of genres and popular events throughout its two-week run.

For the first time, The Pittsburgh Japanese Film Festival is curating a short film program, and is actively accepting submissions.
