TREBINJE TO HOST JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL IN NOVEMBER

The city of Trebinje will host the Japanese Film Festival on November 11 and 18, bringing a selection of Japanese cinema to audiences in the Republic of Srpska.

The festival is organised by the Embassy of Japan in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in cooperation with the Japan Foundation and the Trebinje Cultural Centre.

The event is part of the Japanese Film Festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will run from November to February next year across five cities: Trebinje, Banja Luka, Cazin, Sarajevo and Mostar.

FOUR JAPANESE FILMS TO BE SCREENED

The programme in Trebinje features four Japanese films, including an animated production created using stop-motion techniques.

According to the Embassy of Japan, the selected films offer audiences an insight into Japan's society, creativity and cultural diversity.

The organisers hope the screenings will bring Japanese culture closer to local audiences and provide an opportunity to discover new stories and perspectives.

The Embassy also expressed particular pleasure at beginning this cultural journey in Trebinje, a city known for its rich history and culture, beautiful natural surroundings and warm hospitality.

30 YEARS OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN JAPAN AND BIH

This year's festival also carries special significance as Japan and Bosnia and Herzegovina mark 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations.

The Embassy of Japan hopes the event will contribute to a better understanding of Japanese culture and further strengthen the friendship between the two countries.

Admission to all screenings in Trebinje is free of charge, and the films will be shown starting at 11:00 a.m. on both festival dates.
