Tokyo, Yokohama to host Latin Beat Film Festival
Entertainment ( 2 )
TOKYO —
The eighth Latin Beat Film Festival comes to Tokyo and Yokohama with a bevy of attention-getting films from Iberia and Latin America. Making the trip from Chile for the festival is influential film director and essayist Alberto Fuguet, who appeared on the cover of Newsweek in 2003 representing the new generation of Latin writers.
Films to watch out for include Gerardo Naranjo’s hard-hitting portrayal of Mexico’s drug war, “Miss Bala,” and a rare screening of “Cuba no Koibito,” Kazuo Kuroki’s 1969 depiction of a doomed Japanese-Cuban love affair (girl chooses country over man) produced on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.
Shinjuku Wald 9, Sept 15-19 and Yokohama Bulk, Oct 7-10.

I'm a big fan of this festival. Some great films, and a huge variety. Just curious about that Yokohama Bulk, though. Is there seriously a cinema called Bulk? Weird!

If you are sick and tired of all the rerun hashed over BS coming out of Hollywood for the last 20 years, this is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I want to check this out big time!
