Kohan Film Festival

Japanese indie filmmakers join forces with locals at Yamanashi's Lake Motosu for this 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 gorgeous campsite venue, while the movie screenings start after sunset and go on all night. The lineup consists of fresh Japanese cinema, including Koji Fukada’s Harmonium, which won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2016, coming-of-age comedy 14 That Night, and Tadashi Nagayama's quirky road movie Journey of the Tortoise.
