Winter '08 Film Series Showing
|
Enter the world of Japanese film. The JFA is a student
organization at the University of Washington that continues to
operate the longest running film series on campus, free and open
to the public. Our goal is to create a greater awareness of
Japanese film and culture in the Seattle area, and foster an
environment of discussion and appreciation for film in general.
We screen films from a wide variety of genres and periods, and
welcome any visitors, suggestions, comments, or queries. As
mentioned, all films are completely free, and all comers very
welcome.
