Japanese Film Festival 2026

1 – 11 October 2026


Co-organised by Japan Creative Centre, Singapore Film Society, and the Japan Foundation, our annual Japanese Film Festival 2026 will take place from 1 to 11 October this year at Shaw Theatres Lido, with extended programming until the end of October by Asian Film Archive and Filmhouse.

As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Japan (SJ60), this year’s Festival will not only feature a remarkable line-up of Japanese films, but also Singapore-Japan collaborations — particularly works by renowned Singaporean filmmaker Eric Khoo, who is serving as our first-ever JFF Festival Ambassador. Check out our JFF.SG website for the full and latest information!
