The short documentary Mountain Monks will be one of the films included in Program 2 of this year's New York Japan CineFest.

Each night's program is scheduled to run from 6:30 - 8:15 PM.

Synopsis:
The Yamabushi in northern Japan practice a once forbidden ancient religion. While their tradition is at risk of disappearing, it offers a way for those seeking a different path in Japan‘s society.

AsianCineFest Rating: 3.5 out of 4 stars; highly recommended documentary about a small Japanese sect.
