THIRD WINDOW FILMS

Third Window Films works hard to bring you the wonderful world beyond long-haired ghost films and mindless Hollywood action copies, sourcing the finest works in new Far Eastern cinema. The latest Third Window Films release is Sawako Decides, an award-winning comedy that took Best Director at the 53rd Blue Ribbon Awards and Best Film and Best Actress at Fantasia Film Festival. Sawako Decides will be out in UK cinemas from 8 July.

The film tells the story of Sawako, a young woman who ran away from her rural town for the bright lights of Tokyo, but found things less glamorous than she expected. One day, she receives word that her father, Tadao, who runs a freshwater clam processing business in her hometown, has fallen ill. There is a reason why Sawako would rather not go back home so easily, but she reluctantly decides to return at her boyfriend’s insistence. Once home, she takes over her father's clam processing company and begins to work there.
