"Building bridges of Understanding"
2009 AFA Festival Opener "PEACE CELEBRATION SCREENING" of "Jun-Ai" (TRUE LOVE), a JAPAN/CHINA Collaboration and AFA award-winning movie.
First released in Japan in August 2007 and in over 150 theaters in China in June 2008. Now is celebrating a nation-wide television presentation in China. In Dec 2007, the BBC World broadcasted at AFA Festival Monaco, showing clips of the movie Jun-Ai (True Love) on World Headline News. This is a time-defying movie that will continue to be shown in Japan and China now and in the future.
At this year's opening, members of the cast and crew from Japan & China will make their way to Monaco! Actress, Screen-writer and Producer, Ms. Keiko Kobayashi will be dressed in the traditional Kimono of Japan and will be joined by famous Chinese Director, Mr. Jiang Qinmin. A live performance by talented singer/actor Yasutaka 'YASU' Kawaguchi during the Awards Celebration will surprise us all. The Jun-Ai Team comes to Monaco once again with prayers for peace and hopes of showing Jun-Ai and spreading its message of peace to every country throughout the world!
The Angel Film Awards' organizers are partners with the Jun-Ai (True Love) Foundation, a fund created to build schools using a portion of proceeds from screenings of Jun-Ai & donations from around the world. The Jun-Ai Foundation has so far built the "Kibo (Hope) Elementary School" and "Jun-Ai Kindergarten" in a farming village near the city of Taizan, China. This exchange between people rather than governments has helped to build bridges of understanding and overcome the wounds of a more than 65 year-old war.
