A 60 minute Japanese comedy about a woman who is infused with the spirit of baseball after the death of her husband (kind of), and her special move is a curveball that hits men in their balls. If you find men getting hit with a baseball in their balls funny, then you are halfway there.

If you've seen a lot of Japanese cinema, and you think you've seen it all, think again. Keep a close eye on Third Window Films for the latest titles from independent and low budget Japanese filmmakers.

Japan's jishu-eiga scene is really amazing. A place where films made for barely nothing can get proper theatrical runs in cinemas, allowing for many young voices to get a footing in the industry. While the majority of these films never leave Japan, we're happy to do our share.

Some very say news just in, but Shozin Fukui, director of Pinocchio 964 and Rubbers Lover, passed away on 2 April. As some might know, in the midst of a resurgence of interest in his work that culminated with a 2025 retrospective at K's Cinema in Shinjuku, he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

Third Window Films has been working for 10 years to bring western viewers the tremendous filmography of Toyoda Toshiaki, one release after another, when no one else cares. I can't express to Adam Torel how grateful I am for discovering these films from one of the finest japanese directors around.

I provided a video essay on the recurring elements in director Toshiaki Toyoda’s “Wolf Mountain” series for this release. I’m very proud to be included on this as Transcending Dimensions was one of the best films of 2025.
