Japanese Late-Autumn Festival and Oriental Institute Book Display

The festival invites local families and the public interested in experiencing some Japanese art, crafts, and films through workshops and other activities.  Our contribution will be to bring Linda Hoaglund, an award-winning, bilingual filmmaker born and raised in Japan who has made five films about Japanese art and the relationship between Japan and the US.  The film screening event will be on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, November 9-11.  On Sunday afternoon there will be a film for children and families with Czech subtitles, The Wound and the Gift.  The film presents a story inspired by a Japanese fable that encourages empathy and connection with nature.  

The festival is held in cooperation with Velký mlýn, Praha 8.
