Happy weekend, people.

I am elbow-deep editing a story at the minute but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It’s a supernatural tale which is fitting for the season since it was recently Halloween. For that particular day, I did my yearly review of a horror film and chose Snow Woman (2016) as my tale to publish. That film has Kiki Sugino as director, a young woman making waves on the international festival circuit including with her retelling of the Snow Woman (which was at this year’s Edinburgh festival) tale which gives it a more contemplative spin so it was with a degree of pleasure that I posted about a season of free films dedicated to the leading women directors of Japanese cinema who are now being celebrated in screenings in London over the next month or so. If I lived in London, I’d definitely take advantage of it because there are class films like Rent-a-neko and Wild Berries getting screened!!!
