A movie screening on 4/25 at club 75 "The Miracle of the Gifted Quarter"

Katsu New York is honor to be able to do a movie screening on 4/25 (Sat) at 2:00 pm. 
Hope you can join us!

Fumiko Irie, the director of the film, was in difficult situations, when she had an experience which forced her to create the film. It was that gratitude came out from herself when she admitted herself as she was. While she had no filming career, she had a firm emotion to create a film “to swell the gratitude in the universe.” She run with her small camera for home video and completed the film. The film deeply touched audiences and they could remember to cherish lives and to love themselves. It turned out incredible number of non-profit screenings. Over 130 thousands people have watched the film in Japan, and it spread across the oceans to USA, Australia, India and China etc, sixteen countries in total. It was invited to Japan Film Festival in USA, on the air by UTB, and received a standing ovation at a screening in Columbia University, which is the summit of video technique. It’s message reached across borders of countries and cultures. We would like to share the delightful impression with as many people as possible. We also desire to realize Yukie-chan’s wish. Yukie-chan appears on the film and a girl who died from an intractable disease. The wish is to have everyone know that impairments and diseases are important and to make a world where all know that everyone is unique and precious.
