An American Piano is based on the true story of a young Japanese girl who played the piano for POWs during WWII and how it affected their lives. On this episode of the GPod we talk to director Paul Leeming and Writer Hamish Downie about their latest film and about the challenges and opportunities of being filmmakers in Japan. We are also joined by Sarah Feinerman who is here to talk about Gakuten. An offshoot of the popular Design Festa art exhibit, Gakuten is an international art festival open to all students.
