In recent years, TOKYO FILMeX has been rapidly gaining recognition for its showcasing of some of the most creative contemporary Asian cinema. Holding its 19th edition in 2018, the event was praised for featuring some of the "very best of Asian films." From the titles screened at the festival, we look at BON-UTA: A Song From Home, Yuji Nakae's documentary shot in the town of Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture and presented in the Special Screening section. We also check out Jesus from promising new filmmaking talent Hiroshi Okuyama, as well as Love Dart directed by Hisashi Saito.
