As part of JSB's 2025 Hokkaido Fair, we will be screening the 2020 Japanese film Ainu Mosir. Directed by Takeshi Fukunaga, it tells the story of an Ainu teenager who looks for a spiritual connection with his recently deceased father while struggling with his Indigenous identity in a changing world. It is a beautiful coming-of-age film that also gives a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous Ainu people in modern Japan.
Ainu Mosir is highly acclaimed by critics and won best International Feature at the Guanajuato International Film Festival, and was a Special Jury Mention at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was filmed on location in various parts of Hokkaido, the birthplace of the director.
Following the film screening, we are honored to have director Takeshi Fukunaga join us virtually on Zoom for a brief talk and Q&A, where the audience will be able to ask about the making of the film.
Ainu Mosir's runtime is 84 minutes. Watch the trailer here.
Screening will be in Japanese language with English subtitles.
This event is made possible thanks to a grant from the Toshiba International Foundation.
We cannot guarantee refunds for tickets purchased, however please let us know if you are unable to make the screening by emailing [email protected].
