Posting this here for other aros and aces as well as for myself, so that it doesn't slip my mind.
JFF Theater will be screening the Japanese film "I am what I am" (そばかす/Sobakasu) online for free from 1st February to 1st May 2025. Judging from the description they provided, it very much sounds like something that'll be right up our alley.
Taken from JFF Theater's official Twitter:
Kasumi is 30 years old and has given up on her dream of becoming a professional cellist. She is back to living with her parents and her grandmother, while working a boring job at a call center. Kasumi’s mother is desperate to marry off Kasumi but Kasumi has no interest in romance or marriage. Very few people seem to understand that Kasumi doesn’t feel lonely. One day, when she reencounters an old friend, she is given the strength to face the truths about how she wants to live her life. A humanistic drama that doesn't take conservative views on romance and values as granted and deals with a contemporary theme of trying to live a life with more freedom and less prejudices.
Just want to get the words out because it's so rare to come by media that discuss the topic of amatonormativity. And you can watch the film at any time during that 4 month time period for free after opening an account on JFF Theater's website. No, they don't ask for your credit card information or anything of the sort. Yes, they have English and other languages for subtitles. So don't miss this chance!
I'm quite looking forward to it.
