I'm a big fan; I see anything I can stumble upon. I'm happy you enjoyed my post.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />aguja,<br />I also find Japanese films mentally stimulating and kind of calming to the spirit at the same time. Thank you for reading my post.<br />- DashaOlgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-71781333253669403872011-08-02T12:38:44.553-04:002011-08-02T12:38:44.553-04:00Jenny Woolf,

My personal interest in Japanese cinema started with that director. It's great to hear you found my post interesting. <br />- Dasha<br /><br />Φανή Παπαγεωργίου, Ζωγράφος,<br />Since I have begun to be interested in Japanese cinema, I have found that there is so much variety in the kinds of films you could see. You can discover something for any mood or personality. What kind of films do you like? If you enjoy stories about women and female friendships, you should see the movie Swing Girls.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Hi haricot,<br />Since I haven't had the opportunity to visit this festival myself, I know about it from my daughter's words. I have acquired the wish to see all of these films. For us in Toronto, it's not always the easiest to find foreign films at any given moment. We'll think of something :) Thank you for visiting. I really enjoyed your blog.<br />- Olga<br /><br />Sarah,<br />Yes, Japanese cinema has an infinite amount of things to offer. I also feel that if more people were exposed to it, they would find a lot in it for themselves, and it could be as popular as French films are.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Hi snowwhite,<br />I think that, since the independent film industry doesn't have as many financial opportunities as commercial films, it must be more difficult to find them in any country. Dasha mentions that "Hello From the Bottom of a River" fits this movie much better. I guess they thought it was an obscure title for the English language :)<br />- OlgaOlgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-18628148718297561582011-08-02T12:26:53.382-04:002011-08-02T12:26:53.382-04:00Hello Jane and Lance Hattatt,

It's difficult to really get a know a certain culture and its traditions without knowing the language. Dasha has started learning Japanese, and finds many words that don't have a literal translations.<br />- Olga and Dasha<br /><br />Hi Yoko,<br />It's not exactly a mainstream loan word in Canada, but it's something we get to know as we learn more about Japanese culture. We've always been interested in Japan in our family - of course, we realize that what we can find here is only the beginning.<br />- Olga<br /><br />Hi Sabrina,<br />Grazie per la visita. Sono contento vi sia piaciuto messaggio di mia figlia e la mia foto.<br />- Olga<br /><br />Hi Tomoko,<br />This festival is part of Toronto's community. It's been only the third annual festival, but it's been drawing more people each time. I'm glad you enjoyed this post. I really love your blog.<br />- Olga<br /><br />Hi patatinka,<br />Спасибо! Я очень рада, что вам понравилось. Мир детства не так-то прост и интересно увидеть отражение этого мира в искусстве.<br />- ДашаOlgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-58270564201072666512011-08-02T12:15:53.945-04:002011-08-02T12:15:53.945-04:00Hi Lydia,

I haven't explored Chinese or Vietnamese cinema yet, and I have seen some Korean films, which I really enjoy. I really like films by Ji-Woon Kim, for example.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Hi BERMAXO,<br />Tratamos de mantener el contacto con los eventos culturales en Toronto, que nos hacen la vida más rica. Gracias por su visita. Me alegro de que haya disfrutado de mensaje de mi hija.<br />- Olga<br /><br />Hi Richard,<br />Si jamais cela arrive, je vous garantis que deux sièges dans la loge VIP à tous les festivals de cinéma.<br />- Olga<br /><br />tinajo,<br />I haven't been to Japan yet, but I wish I could go too! I will one day.

I'm happy to have had the opportunity to see them at a festival, because they are really not easily accessible in Canada.<br />I really like the name my mom gave me :) Thanks.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Hi Yvonne,<br />Cinema festivals can really be special and leave a lasting impression. The most popular one in Toronto is the Toronto International Film Festival. <br />- Olga<br /><br />Vagabonde,<br />It can be a challenge to find good foreign films. In Toronto, I also have to put effort in finding something to satisfy my interest. I'm happy when I get the chance :)<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Sandy,<br />I'm very pleased to share. Toronto does have many interesting events, but you need to know how to find them. Some of the best ones might be hidden away :) I like to find something rare to share with others.<br />- Dasha<br /><br />Ricardo,<br />Toronto can be very interesting :) I had a really good weekend; hope you did too.<br />- DashaOlgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-12343293516793480792011-08-02T07:57:54.023-04:002011-08-02T07:57:54.023-04:00I, too, enjoy Japanese films.

I visited Toronto Film Scene through your link. Your daughter, Dasha’s reviews are marvelous and very helpful. Especially, I got interested in “Sawako Decides”. I found Utube showing some scenes from this movie. It was very funny that Sawako and the employees in white uniform are earnestly and loudly singing the company song. Japanese title was “Hello from the Bottom of a River”<br />I think the chances to see Japanese independent films are not many even in Japan. <br />Every film seems to emit shining characteristics. I’ll go back to the site to read them again.<br />Did people in Toronto like these Japanese films?<br />Honestly speaking, I have scarcely seen the independent films. I must have missed many excellent ones.<br />Olga, thanks again. Have a great day.snowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682991289355439012.post-43645838237474534752011-08-01T04:20:26.607-04:002011-08-01T04:20:26.607-04:00Thank you for this fascinating write-up, Dasha.
