"Lets go to the Flicks" Australian Movie Seminar

"Flicks” is Australian for “Movies”. It probably comes from the sound a film projector makes…

This year is the “Australia Japan Year of Exchange” and we have decided in Ibaraki to help to deepen friendship, cooperation and understanding between Japan and Australia through holding an Australian movie seminar.

As part of the Ibaraki International Association's World Culture Seminar and the International Affairs Division, every week we will show a famous movie from Australia that is not well known in Japan. Before each movie will be a short introduction to Australian culture by our Australian Coordinator of International Relations in Japanese, and afterwards there will be a chance to ask questions.
