EuroAsia Shorts 2018: Japan & Italy Shorts

Now in its 13th edition, EuroAsia Shorts presents an annual week of short films from Europe, Asia, and the United States screened at embassies and cultural centers throughout Washington, DC. The 2018 edition will focus on the theme WomenWorldWide.

More and more women are now telling stories as filmmakers, artistic creators, and as individuals, shaping the conversation and influencing how society as a whole understands and confronts the world’s many challenges. This year’s festival looks at the uniqueness and universality of women’s experiences, contributions, and perspectives in all aspects of life. To all women, be they artists and family members, professionals and visionaries, everyday people and extraordinary heroines — it’s time the world paid attention.

A Japanese and Italian shorts selection will be screened at the Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan on June 6th.

Please visit the EuroAsia Shorts Film Festival website for more information.
