'Dreamless' mice in Japan help unravel the mystery of sleep
A dream can sometimes stay with us all day, perhaps even longer. Other times we wake up and don't really remember much of what we've dreamed about. But what about other animals? Do they dream? It's a question we'll perhaps never be able to answer — but let's give it a shot.

Welsh filmmaker John Williams has made it in Japan against all odds
It's not easy for anyone to make indie films in Japan. Audiences, venues and funds are all shrinking. And if you are not Japanese, you face additional barriers of language, culture and credibility. Even if your name is the only foreign one on the credits, many will consider your film not "really" Japanese, including those with the power to decide if it will live or die in the theaters or on the festival circuit.

'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'
To describe "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" as a foodie film is akin to picking an English rose and calling it a flower. This documentary by New York-based David Gelb is at once a celebration of one of the world's most popular and coveted meals, and a firsthand observation of Japan's most famous sushi chef at work. What unfolds here is less a story than immersion in a painting hung in a exclusive gallery; you find yourself lost in the details of the counter at Sukiyabashi Jiro, and catching your breath at the outrageous beauty of chef Jiro Ono's omakase (chef's choice) plate.
