Happy Holidays from all of us at the Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow! See you on Januray 4th!


It seems like 2010 just started, but lo and behold we're on the eve of 2011. It's been a busy year of globetrotting, film fest organizing and attending, writing and of course a whole lot of movie watching! Now it's time for everyone here at the Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow - Chris MaGee, Bob Turnbull, Marc Saint-Cyr, Matthew Hardstaff and Eric Evans - to take a bit of a holiday break. We'll be back to regular posts on January 4th, 2011, but until then we'd like to wish all of our regular readers a very Merry Christmas メリークリスマス, Happy Hanukkah, and a very Happy New Year 謹賀新年!
