"A sensitive and nuanced portrait of modernity at odds with tradition." Array has debuted a US trailer for an indie coming-of-age drama from Japan titled Ainu Mosir, made by filmmaker Takeshi Fukunaga. This premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival (where it received a Special Jury Mention) and Taipei Film Festival this year, and already opened in Japan back in October. Set in northern Japan's Hokkaido community, 14-year-old indigenous Ainu teen Kanto (played by Kanto Shimokura) searches for a spiritual connection to his recently deceased father with the help of a family friend. Torn between maintaining the tradition of his ancestors and lured by the mysteries of adulthood, Kanto is on a journey to find his sense of self. This looks like a lovely, spiritual film focusing on Japan's Indigenous people, and their struggles to fit in with society. ›››
