Project Dreams – How to Build Mazinger Z’s Hangar Headlines the 2020 Japanese Film Festival!
The Japan Foundation, Manila kicks off its first digital edition of the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) with a drive-in cinema experience with an ode to a manga and anime classic!
Catch the 3-day special screening on November 20 to 22, 2020, at 6 p.m. at the SM Cinema Drive-in at the Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City!
The festival’s opening film titled “Project Dreams – How to Build Mazinger Z’s Hangar (前田建設ファンタジー営業部)” (2020, 115 mins) follows the journey of Maeda Corporation’s fantasy marketing department on a mission to make the impossible possible and challenge the boundaries between reality and fiction.
The film, which is coincidentally based on real-facts wherein the firm Maeda Corporation exists and does the file on Mazinger Z Hangar is directed by Hanabusa Tsutomu. Regular JFF viewers know him by his film “Kakegurui (賭ケグルイ),” which was voted as one of the festival’s fan favorites in 2019.
The cast includes Takasugi Mahiro, Kamiji Yusuke, and Kishii Yukino, with a screenplay by Ueda Makoto.
This screening is part of the JFF Plus: Online Festival, made possible by festival partners: JTI International, Philippines, Film Development Council of the Philippines, the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines, and SM Cinema.
