Starting today, you can purchase your tickets for the NYTFGP2008 Festival. To refresh your memory, Part One showcases 9 superb Japanese films that haven’t yet touched America and is bringing creative directors to the venues to answer questions and introduce their films. This is not your average film festival!

The first screening starts Sept. 28th, at NYU’s Cantor Film Center, and then spreads out into a packed two week celebration at NYC’s Tribeca Cinemas and Anthology Film Archives.
