Film Festival 2018 – Programme, practical, etc

Cows lowed and dogs barked as the messenger stood panting at the gates of the winter fortress. “Fine folk, with the new year’s twilight the sun is coming again!” The gatekeepers exchanged a look of confusion, and pointed to the man’s brace. “Yet another hand-picked anthology from far beyond the dawn, gentlemen!” Meanwhile, on the tower between the battlements, the lords heard the thunder in Cologna. “Or would a feast on the Lord’s Day not please you a little?” The barbarians did not move a muscle. Until the messenger uttered this winged phrase: “Debauched quantities of the divine liquor shall also be your portion!” At once the bridge sank to the feet of the messenger and his gifts, gleaming in the eastern glow. For five days minds and tongues were refreshed with delights from far beyond the horizon. For five days, the vassals of the Stone of the Counts bathed in warm sorrow and cheerful happiness.

We will also continue that tradition for five days Anno Domini 2018! Make a note of March 14 in your logbook, because then we will open our gates for the ninth time for your annual (and rice-necessary) dose of Japanophilia with a fresh film harvest, culinary rapture and a week of unbridled escapism for young and old. Keep an eye on our carrier pigeons for more information!
