I hope to see you all at this quarterly meeting on March 27. Dinner will be served for 1,000 yen for those in attendance.

April 2025 Exhibition

(Japanese translation follows English, 日本語訳は英文の後に続きます。)

April 2025 Exhibition
GAZA: Signal Of Life
Photographer: Amer Nasser
March 31 - April 25, 2025

For the month of April, the FCCJ is proud to present a telling exhibition to support Palestinian filmmaker and photographer Amer Nasser who is currently living a difficult and perilous life in the midst of a serious humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza. As a producer selected to exhibit his work at the Cannes Film Festival and Dubai International Film Festival, Nasser would suffer the loss of his camera and computer in one of the many bombings, the artist’s foremost means of expression. Without backup equipment, he was forced to turn to his only remaining means of recording history - a smartphone - to continue sending out daily videos and photos on social media.
