Dear supporters

Thank you so much for being part of our festival and trusting our project…! I was very doki doki this year because I couldn’t start the crowdfunding project earlier due to my family’s health issue. But with all of your generous support, we reached our funding goal today and we can not thank you enough.

I received many messages, SMS, DM on social medias from you during this crowdfunding campaign and every messages gave me a lot of power. Our festival became 10 years old with you and I am looking forward to welcoming you all to our festival and celebrate the anniversary!

Once again, thank you so much for believing in our small, handmade festival. I know many of you are keep supporting our crowdfunding project since the very very first year back in 2014 and this makes me cry. Arigagatou gozaimasu, merci viel mal…!

Now, all the supporters names are listed on our website. I am sorry I can not thank anonymous supporters directly. I hope you can all read this message!

With my warmest regards, best wishes for a nice Sunday Mizuki

Are you wondering…. why 4 newspapers? 1: For director Ryo Takebayashi (Mondays: See you «this» week!) 2: For director Takuro Adachi (The Heart of the Emergency Room) 3: For director Ryuichi Shimada (A Son) 4: For my parents in Japan!

They all will be so happy to have their films being spotlighted by the Swiss newspaper!!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our festival next week…!

Grüezi mitenand, Konnichiwa everyone!

Thank you so much for supporting GINMAKU’s crowdfunding project!

We are distributing our programs in town everyday and we feel things have changed in 10 years. It was very difficult to find shops, restaurants or cafe to let us place our program before but now, when we say we are Japanese Film Festival, people say «Oh…! Japan!! We’ve been there and loved it..!». Every time we hear that, we are so thankful that many people visited our country and had a good time there.

We hope that you will also have a good time at our festival! 14 handpicked Japanese films will be screened at dear cinema Houdini & Riffraff and we can’t wait to welcome you to our festival…!

Thank you for reading an update! And please, let me know which film you would like to see if you chose «The Sushi + Locarno set» so that I can organize tickets for you.

With my warmest regards, Mizuki
