SUMMARY:Tokyo BEFORE/AFTER Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:   \nTop images (left to right):\nNatsumi Hayashi\, Today’s Levitation 02/21/2011; Mika Ninagawa\, TOKYO INNOCENCE (2015); Image from photo album Nippon (1938).\n\nJapan Foundation Touring Exhibition: April 11 – July 11\, 2018\nTokyo BEFORE/AFTER\nPhotography Exhibition\n\n\nThis touring exhibition “Tokyo Before/After” features 80 pieces of photography in two groups. The historical works shot in Tokyo in the 1930s to 1940s are displayed in contrast with contemporary pieces created after 2010. \nBefore World War II\, the city of Tokyo in the 1930s and 1940s was about to complete the urban structural framework as a contemporary metropolis. Photographers took expressive advantage of the high technical level of their medium in order to fix the images of a vibrant\, urban space\, where the traditional and the modern co-existed and clashed at the same time. \n\nNobuyoshi Araki\, Tombeau Tokyo (2016/2017)\nIn contrast\, after 2010 Tokyo enfolds the fluid social condition of the era after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and is experiencing even greater transformation\, aiming towards the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. Rapid digitalization of the photographic method influences the characteristics of photographic expression; thus\, the individuality and viewpoint of each artist are more clearly visible than ever. \nIn comparing the two groups of photography from these different eras\, the figures of Tokyo in the past\, present\, and future are distinctively intensifying. Tokyo is drawing international attention in the light of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. We hope that exhibition visitors will deepen their understanding of the multi-faceted megacity of Tokyo through the photographs by Japanese artists in this touring exhibition. \nParticipating artists – “Before”\nArtists published in Koga (1932-1933):\nYasuzo Nojima\, Masao Horino\, Ihei Kimura\, Yotsuo Kono\, Hyoue Sakuma\, Koujiro Iida\, Hajime Okano \nArtists published in Nippon (1938):\nYonosuke Natori and others \nKineo Kuwabara  (1913-2007) \nParticipating artists – “After”\nNobuyoshi Araki\, Mika Ninagawa\, Motoyuki Daifu\, Shintaro Sato\, Shinya Arimoto\, Natsumi Hayashi\, Kenta Cobayashi\, Daido Moriyama \n  \nShow GALLERY HOURS \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nApril 14\, 28\, May 12\, 26\, June 9\, 23\, July 7 \nDoors Open Toronto: May 26 & 27 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nMay 21 (Victoria Day) \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229 \n \n

SUMMARY:PRIDE Films: Lily Festival
DESCRIPTION:Lily Festival 百合祭\n\n\nJune 26\, 2018 6:30 PM  &  July 16\, 2018 1:00 PM\n\n\nDirected by Sachi Hamano\nJapanese with English subtitles [2001] 100 min.\n\n\n  \nCelebrate Pride with us this summer by watching four films in the PRIDE FILM SERIES that look at LGBTQ diversity in Japan. \n  \nDelightful romantic complications are stirred up with the arrival of a 75-year-old Casanova\, Mr. Miyoshi\, at a senior citizens’ apartment building. Mrs. Miyano and her five other apartment mates\, who range in age from 69 to 91\, find their lives forever transformed by his flattery and sexual attentions. Dauntlessly they break out of their shells\, reclaiming their own desires. Lily Festival is a humorous and subversive erotic fantasy in which Mrs. Miyano\, having found her desire\, is now confronting the possibilities of lesbian love for the first time. Lily Festival portrays the lively reawakening of older women who have been shackled by both oppression of women and discrimination against the elderly. These women are definitely not cute old ladies. \nDirector Sachi Hamano has released over 300 low-budget adult films portraying sexuality from women’s perspectives. Funding for Lily Festival was provided in part by donations from more than 12\,000 women from all over Japan who support Hamano’s filmmaking. High production values\, great acting and an engaging story make Lily Festival such a delight. If you are looking for granny-on-granny action\, be patient\, this romantic comedy unfolds in the most lovely and unexpected ways. Lily Festival celebrates golden girls who are bold and overflowing with energy and who find that there is sex after 60. [Programme notes from Inside Out film festival] \nThe film was an adaptation of the novel Yurisai (Lily Festival) written by Hoko Momotani about elderly sexuality. \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto would like to acknowledge the generous support for this film screening from TANTANSHA Co.\, Ltd. and director Sachi Hamano.  Thank you very much! \nCAST\nKazuko Yoshiyuki\nMickey Curtis\nKazuko Shirakawa\nUtae Shoji\nChisako Hara \nProduction Company\nTantansha CO.\,LTD\n  \nOther films in the PRIDE FILM SERIES: \nTABOO                   Directed by Nagisa Oshima\nHUSH!                   Directed by Ryosuke Hashiguchi\nLILY FESTIVAL     Directed by Sachi Hamano\nKAKERA                Directed by Momoko Ando
