Canceled: Like Father, Like Son

UPDATE: Sorry, everyone. The studio didn’t ship us the film in time and so we have to cancel this screening. We were really looking forward to showing this film, but don’t want to show in a subpar format. We’ll be showing a free, secret Japanese film tonight instead for anyone who wants to come out. Thank you.


Part of the Hanabi Japanese Film Festival, running Sept. 1 – 13. Limited festival passes available for access to all films.

Ryota is a successful workaholic businessman. When he learns that his biological son was switched with another boy after birth, he faces the difficult decision to choose his true son or the boy he and his wife have raised as their own.

Written, directed and edited by Hirokazu Kore-eda. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and winner of the Jury Prize.

Screened in Japanese with English subtitles.
