Heralded by the Japanese film industry as a vital platform for Japanese culture, the Toronto Japanese Film Festival (TJFF) celebrates its 10th anniversary with three weeks of exciting programming. This year’s lineup includes an impressive selection from women directors, several international and domestic premieres and a hybrid anime that’s part movie, part concert for the virtual duo LIPxLIP. Top picks include Wife of a Spy, from acclaimed director Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Mio’s Cookbook, a tale of friendship and food. Viewers can watch any film during the festival period.
