2012 Florida Film Festival International Films Just Released

"Where can you catch films from Denmark, Japan, Norway, and the United Kingdom all in one stop? The 2012 Florida Film Festival, sponsored by Full Sail University, is dishing out an entertaining selection of international feature films that transcend cultural barriers.  From heartwarming to hilarious, the 2012 International Showcase announced today includes an outrageous adventure, a moving tale of childhood wishes, a sexually-charged coming-of-age comedy, and a darkly witty take on the afterlife."


A Florida premiere, I Wish (Kiseki) a Japanese movie about "Twelve-year-old Koichi regrets that his parents have split. He lives with his mother and maternal grandparents in small-town Kagoshima; his younger brother lives with their slacker rock-musician father in big city Hakata.  A new bullet train line will soon run betweeen the two cities.  Koichi believes that where the two trains pass on their maiden voyage, wishes come true.  Japanese master filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-Eda (Afterlife, FFF 1999) demonstrates the reslience of children and the power of the imagination."
