More news from Japan! Last week we could announce that Olha Zhurba’s ‘Outside’ has won a Japan Prize of Honor. This time we are thrilled to share that Camilla Nielsson’s 2021 film President has now been released in Japan. Several cinemas are taking up the film, and still counting.
In ‘President’ Zimbabwe is facing the 2018 election which will be an ultimate test for the two opposing sides, and which will determine the future of the country in a post Mugabe era. Nelson Chamisa, new leader of the opposition party, MDC, is challenging the old guard, ZANU-PF, represented by acting president Emmerson Mnangagwa.
’President’ premiered on Sundance Festival in January 2021. We are happy that more countries are releasing the film – most recently Japan.
