Kohan Film Festival

Indie filmmakers join forces with locals at Yamanashi's Lake Motosu for this outdoor film and music extravaganza taking place over the first weekend of August. During the day, you can catch gigs and DJ performances all around the campsite venue, while the movie screenings start after sunset and go on all night. The programme consists of fresh Japanese cinema, including 100 Yen Love (2014), Kei Morikawa's porn comedy Make Room and the confusingly named horror flick Greatful Dead by Eiji Uchida. The full selection can be viewed here (in Japanese).
