Filipino director BC Amparado takes on Japan's lonely deaths

Filipino filmmaker BC Amparado has made a film addressing Japan's 'kodokushi' or lonely death phenomenon, in which people die alone and go undiscovered for long periods. The feature, titled 'Mono no Aware', explores the social isolation behind these deaths. Coverage focuses on how the director approached a subject deeply rooted in Japanese society through an outsider's lens, drawing interest from audiences following both Asian cinema and Japan's ongoing ageing and isolation crisis.
Why now: Japan's lonely death crisis continues to draw international attention, and a foreign director's take on it is a fresh angle.
