This year’s Tokyo Gohan Film Festival – also known as The Tokyo Food Lover’s Festival – is being hosted by Image Forum with some events being held at Spiral Hall and other venues around town.  The programme includes perennial favourites such as Naoko Ogigami’s Seagull Diner (Kamome Shokudo, 2006) and Percy Adlon’s Bagdad Café (1987) as well as recent hits such as Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia (2009) and Shūichi Okita’s The Woodsman and the Rain (2011) starring Kōji Yakusho and Shun Oguri which won the audience prize at this year’s Nippon Connection.  There are also some great docs on the menu including Gereon Wetzel's  El Bulli (2011) about chef Ferran Adrià's famed restaurant in Catalonia, Spain.  To learn more about the programme check out their official website.
