Program: Japanland
JAPANLAND is a journey into the soul of Japan. For an entire year, adventure filmmaker and author Karin Muller immersed herself in Japanese society. Speaking Japanese and living with geisha and samurai archers, mountain ascetics and pearl divers, Karin gained access to the most intimate - and surprising - aspects of Japanese culture. The result is a rare look behind the tatemai - Japan's public face - to see the honne, the true inner character of Japan. JAPANLAND, is an entertaining, insightful, and often humorous look at a side of Japan that few foreigners have ever seen.
