Due to the recent spike in Covid-19 cases, the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) has been postponed to January 2021, and got a new name in the process: JFF 2020 Plus One.

The new dates are: Klang Valley (Jan 7 to 13), Penang (Jan 14 to 17), JB (Jan 21 to 24), Kota Kinabalu and Kuching (Jan 28 to 31). Screening times will be announced in mid-December.

Tickets are sold at RM9.50 and can be purchased two days before the first day of screening in each region.

Additionally, the JFF Plus: Online Festival (Nov 20 to 29) will bring you a selection of titles from past film festivals, together with a few other films, that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. Details will be announced in early November.
