SUMMARY:Into the Picture Scroll: The Tale of Yamanaka Tokiwa (Online Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:Into the Picture Scroll: The Tale of Yamanaka Tokiwa 山中常盤ー牛若丸と常盤御前 母と子の物語ー\n\nInto the Picture Scroll: The Tale of Yamanaka Tokiwa\n山中常盤ー牛若丸と常盤御前 母と子の物語ー \nFriday\, July 1\, 5:59PM – Sunday\, July 3\, 11:59PM (ET)\nDirected by HANEDA Sumiko | 2005 | Documentary | 100 minutes | Japanese with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (Canada only) | Admission Free | RSVP Required (register below to receive a viewing link before July 1) \nThis extraordinary film presents Japanese classical scroll painting as never before. The Yamanaka Tokiwa comprises twelve scrolls painted by IWASA Matabei some 400 years ago. It tells the then-famous puppet theater story of Lady Tokiwa\, who is murdered by bandits in Yamanaka on her way to visit her samurai son. Learning of her fate from her ghost\, the son sets out to avenge her death. With skillful framing\, rhythmic pacing\, and a newly composed joruri score (ballad singing with shamisen accompaniment)\, HANEDA Sumiko has created a stirring cinematic work from a static painting that is one of Japan’s cultural treasures. \n     \n\n \nAbout HANEDA Sumiko\nBorn in 1926\, in Dalian\, China (then Manchuria\, under Japanese occupation)\, Haneda started her career with Iwanami Productions\, a company producing educational films\, where she would make her first films about the arts\, education\, and nature. In 1976 she directed her first independent film\, The Cherry Tree with Gray Blossoms\, a personal project she had worked on for many years. She made films about folkloric dances and changing rural traditions (Ode to Mt. Hayachine\, 1982)\, portraits of aging artists such as Akiko-Portrait of a Dancer (1985) or the monumental Kabuki Actor Kataoke Nizaimon (1992-1996). Haneda led a prolific career directing over 80 films and receiving widespread recognition for her work on welfare politics and caring for the elderly. Later in her career\, Haneda reflected upon her early life in China with films about the Japanese settlers in Manchuria such as Faraway Home – Lushun and Dalian (2011). She also participated in the creation of the Tokyo International Women’s Film Festival (1985-2012)\, the first of its kind in Japan. \n\nOnline Talk: Women Directors in Contemporary Japanese Cinema\n \nAvailable Now on the JFT Youtube Channel \nThis special presentation with Dr. Colleen Laird (UBC) focuses on the emergence of women directors in early 21st century Japanese cinema industries. In this talk\, Dr. Laird introduces prominent directors who have been successful in both domestic and international markets\, and she discusses the various factors that supported a new career pathway for women in film\, as well as ongoing barriers that pose difficulties for continued success.  Presented in English. \nWatch Here \n

SUMMARY:Ode to Mount Hayachine (Online Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:Ode to Mount Hayachine 早池峰の賦\n\nOde to Mount Hayachine\n早池峰の賦 \nFriday\, July 1\, 5:59PM – Sunday\, July 3\, 11:59PM (ET)\nDirected by HANEDA Sumiko | 1982 | Documentary | 156 minutes | Japanese with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (Canada only) | Admission Free | RSVP Required (register below to receive a viewing link before July 1) \nA surprising box-office hit in Japan\, HANEDA Sumiko’s documentary epic revels in the patterns of Japan caught between tradition and modernity. Shot in the foothills of Iwate Prefecture’s mystical Mt. Hayachine\, the film records a year in the life of the area’s villages and villagers as they prepare for kagura performances\, a dance-theater form with origins in religious rituals (and now mainly performed for eager tourists). Fittingly\, the film’s true beauty comes not through its commentary on tradition and society\, but in its harmonization to the mountain’s own intricate rhythms. \n \n\n \nAbout HANEDA Sumiko\nBorn in 1926\, in Dalian\, China (then Manchuria\, under Japanese occupation)\, Haneda started her career with Iwanami Productions\, a company producing educational films\, where she would make her first films about the arts\, education\, and nature.
