The Japanese Film Festival is a series of film screenings and a masterclass for Year 11-12 pupils, at SOAS, giving them the opportunity to investigate wider links between language, culture and film.
The masterclass will give students the opportunity to discuss these issues with an academic from the Centre of Media and Film Studies, also contrasting the films with those produced by Disney and Pixar. Pupils who attend the screenings and seminar will also work with current university language students to discuss their thoughts about issues raised, and what implications these have on the importance of studying languages.
The aims of the event are:
* to use the power of media and animation to engage with students and to enthuse them about studying languages
* to introduce ideas on how different cultures engage with the world through language and visual media
* to develop pupils’ knowledge of the intrinsically linked relationship between language and culture
All sessions will start at 4.15pm and take place at the School of Oriental and African Studies in central London. Entry is free but you must reserve a place beforehand.
The Japanese Film Festival is being held with support from Capital L and the Sasakawa Foundation.
The students:
The students should be in Year 11 or Year 12 and have an interest in either languages or film studies. The Festival would also be suitable for students who have studied Japanese, or who intend to do so.
This is a Widening Participation event and preference should be given to students who would be the first in their family to go to university.
Students will not need to be accompanied by teachers at the event.
Capital L-Routes into Languages:
Capital L is a consortium of 8 universities working in partnership with London’s schools and colleges, Comenius London and the RLN London, with the aim of encouraging and supporting 13-19 year old learners to continue to study languages in Key Stage 4 and 5.

The Sasakawa Foundation’s aim is to develop good relations between the United Kingdom and Japan by advancing the education of the people of both nations in each other’s culture, society and achievements.
