First World Culture Film Festival kicks off this week in L_A_
The inaugural World Culture Film Festival kicks off Thursday in Los Angeles, a four-day event “dedicated to showcasing films that inspire, educate and celebrate diverse cultures.”
WCFF opens with the Oscar-nominated dramedy The Monk and the Gun, directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji. The Bhutanese filmmaker — whose Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom received a 2022 Academy Award nomination for Best International Film — will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening of The Monk and the Gun.
The festival closes with Wim Wenders' Oscar-nominated Perfect Days, a drama about Hirayama (Koji Yakusho), a man who cleans Tokyo's public toilets, which are known for their impeccable appearance.
