SUMMARY:Memories of Origin: Hiroshi Sugimoto & KOCHUU
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of CONTACT Photography Festival\, we will be screening three documentaries\, featuring the beauty of photography\, architecture\, light and the creative minds behind them. On May 23\, we will explore this with the screening of two documentaries together\, Memories of Origin: Hiroshi Sugimoto\, followed by KOCHUU: Japanese Architecture/Influence and Origin. Then on June 4\, we will screen a serene portrait of an artist in A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light. Two of the films\, Memories of Origin and A Room of Her Own were directed by Yuko Nakamura.    \n\nMemories of Origin: HIROSHI SUGIMOTO\nThis documentary follows 200 days in life of the contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. \nHiroshi Sugimoto is a leading presence in the world of modern art. He has taken the medium of photography and perceiving it as a form of conceptual art\,has extended the barriers of expression. He is the winner of many prestigious awards and his photographs are sold for millions of yen at overseas auctions.\nThe film shows the sites of the Architecture series shot in southern France\, the huge installation art 17th Biennale of Sydney\, his new work Mathematics at Provence\, his art studio in New York while working on Lighting Fields\, his recent direction and production of tradition Japanese performance art and so on. It thoroughly pursues the questions that Sugimoto’s works pose- \n“living in modern times\,what are these works trying to tell us?”\nMEMORIES OF ORIGIN: Hiroshi Sugimoto was first broadcast on Japan’s program WOWOW on December\, 2010. The Director’s Cut of this documentary was expanded from a TV program which was nominated for the International Emmy Award for Art in 2011. \nDirector: Yuko Nakamura\nYear: 2011\, Japan\, 44 minutes \nCast: Hiroshi Sugimoto (Photographer/Contemporary Artist)\, Tadao Ando (Architect)\, Lee U-Fan (Contemporary Artist)\, Mansai Nomura (Kyogen Actor)\, Akira Asada (Critic)\nMusic: Keiichiro Shibuya \nProduction: TV Man Union\, INC. / WOWOW\, INC.\nProducer: Yuko Nakamura / Hiroyuki Ohde / Hideyuki Furutani International Producer: Miyuki Fukuma \nWe will be screening director Yuko Nakamura’s other feature documentary A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light on June 4\, 2019. RSVP here >  \n \n  \nKOCHUU: Japanese Architecture/Influence and Origin\nNakagin Capsule Tower \nKOCHUU is a visually stunning film about modern Japanese architecture\, its roots in the Japanese tradition\, and its impact on the Nordic building tradition. Winding its way through visions of the future and traditional concepts\, nature and concrete\, gardens and high-tech spaces\, the film explains how contemporary Japanese architects strive to unite the ways of modern man with the old philosophies in astounding constructions. \nKOCHUU\, which translates as “in the jar\,” refers to the Japanese tradition of constructing small\, enclosed physical spaces\, which create the impression of a separate universe. The film illustrates key components of traditional Japanese architecture\, such as reducing the distinction between outdoors and indoors\, disrupting the symmetrical\, building with wooden posts and beams rather than with walls\, modular construction techniques\, and its symbiotic relationship with water\, light and nature. \nThese concepts can be seen through remarkable views of the Imperial Katsura Palace\, the Todai-Ji Temple\, the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum\, the Sony Tower\, numerous teahouses and gardens. \nDirector: Jesper Wachtmeister\nYear: 2006\, Japan\, 53 minutes

SUMMARY:Cinema Japonais: RADIANCE @Alliance Francaise
DESCRIPTION:Cinema JAPONAIS: Thursday Movies @Alliance Francaise\nCo-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Alliance Francaise \n@ Alliance Francaise\, SPADINA THEATRE\, 24 Spadina Rd. \nfree admission\, no reservations required   \nRADIANCE 光\nThursday May 30th\, 2019 7:30 PM\n   \nDirected by Naomi Kawase\, 2017\n101 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nRadiance is the stunning new film by director Naomi Kawase. The film is a beautiful drama about an encounter between two lost and wounded souls.

The two are brought together as Misako’s cinematic poetry helps to shine light through the film and slowly win the hearts of the two main characters. \nRadiance was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2017 Cannes. At Cannes\, it won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. \nOther critically acclaimed films directed by Naomi Kawase are;  Shara (2003)\, The Mourning Forest (Jury Grand Prix\, 2007)\, Hanezu (2011)\, Still the Water (2014) and Sweet Bean (Un Certain Regard 2015). \nTo learn about other films DIRECTED BY JAPANESE WOMEN click here > \n

SUMMARY:A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of CONTACT Photography Festival\, we will be screening three documentaries\, featuring the beauty of photography\, architecture\, light and the creative minds behind them. On May 23\, we will explore this with the screening of two documentaries together\, Memories of Origin: Hiroshi Sugimoto\, followed by KOCHUU: Japanese Architecture/Influence and Origin. Then on June 4\, we will screen a serene portrait of an artist in A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light. Two of the films\, Memories of Origin and A Room of Her Own were directed by Yuko Nakamura.   \nA Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light  \nArtist Rei Naito reminds us of the faint presence of things that are not visible unless we make the effort to see them. An artist shrouded in mystery\, Naito has up to now refused to be filmed on camera. After two years of exchanges with the artist\, this documentary attempts to get close to the essence of Naito’s art\, which expresses the lights of existence\, without pointing the camera at theartist herself. The story involves the dynamism of the pulsating space of the “Matrix” at the Teshima Art Museum\, water\, light\, and five women who are enticed by the world of Naito’s art. The Teshima Art Museum\, which integrates a construction by architect Ryue Nishizawa (co-founder of SANAA)\, the artwork “Matrix” by artist Rei Naito\, and the natural surroundings\, is located in the middle of the beautiful Teshima Island in the Seto Inland Sea. Special permission was granted to film the museum. The result is the birth of a new art documentary reminiscent of a deep prayer\, with many intangible and tangible things weaved into the story. \n“Highlighting the two-year communications between Naito\, an artist who has never revealed her creating processes to the outside world\, and director Yuko Nakamura\, this film shows the quest of five women\, all invariably enchanted by Naito’s art\, as they explore her artistic world based on the question of whether it is in itself a blessing to be alive.” —Aichi International Women’s Film Festival \nDirector: Yuko Nakamura\, 2015\, 87 minutes > Films official website \nCast: Rei Naito\, Ran Taniguchi\, Hina Yukawa\, Keiko Oyama\, Nobuko Numakura\, Kyoko Tanaka \nDirector of photography: Yasuyuki Sasaki/ Sound : Koh Yu Chang/ Editor : Yuko Nakamura\, Kei Ishikawa/ Music : Tara Jane O’neil\, Masakatsu Takagi/ Costume Design: Theater Products/ Assistant Director : Hayato Onishi/ Executive Producer : Hiromitsu Sugita/ Associate Producer: Tomoaki Sugimoto/ International Producer : Miyuki Fukuma/ Cooperation : Gallery Koyanagi\, Teshima Art Museum/ Presented by TV MAN UNION\, Inc. \n(c) TV MAN UNION / YOICHI NAGANO \nAbout Teshima Art Museum\n\nUniting the creative visions of artist Rei Naito and architect Ryue Nishizawa\, Teshima Art Museum stands on a hill on the island of Teshima overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The museum\, which resembles a water droplet at the moment of landing\, is located in the corner of a rice terrace that was restored in collaboration with local residents.\nStructurally\, the building consists of a concrete shell\, devoid of pillars\, covering a space 40 by 60 meters and with a maximum height of 4.5 meters. Two oval openings in the shell allow wind\, sounds\, and light of the world outside into this organic space where nature and architecture intimately interconnect. In the interior space\, water continuously springs from the ground in a day long motion. This setting\, in which nature\, art and architecture come together with such limitless harmony\, conjures an infinite array of impressions with the passage of seasons and the flow of time. \nAbout artist REI NAITO  \nREI NAITO\, born 1961\, is a Japanese artist who was born in Hiroshima. She graduated from Musashino Art University in 1985. She presented her works at the 47th Venice Biennale (1997) in Italy. She also collaborated with architect Ryue Nishizawa (co-founder of SANAA) at the Teshima Art Museum on the island of Teshima\, in the Seto Inland Sea. \nNaito’s art is also showcased in The museum of für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main\, the Museum of Modern art in New York\, the Israel Museum\, and the national Museum of Art\, Osaka. \nAbout Director YUKO NAKAMURA \n\nYUKO NAKAMURA (Film director / TV director) Born in Tokyo in 1977.

SUMMARY:TOKYO Ainu
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of National Indigenous Day\, and to bring awareness of the indigenous people of Japan\, we invite you to join us for a special screening of the documentary Tokyo Ainu directed by Hiroshi Moriya and produced by the Tokyo Ainu Film Production Committee. June 21 is also the summer solstice\, or in Japanese 夏至 (geshi)\, another reason to celebrate and for a chance to cool down after the longest day of the year. \n \nTokyo Ainu\n \nDirected by Hiroshi Moriya\, 2011 [114 minutes]\nTokyo Ainu features the Ainu\, the indigenous peoples of Japan\, living in Greater Tokyo who are actively promoting their traditional culture in a metropolitan urban environment\, away from their traditional homeland\, Hokkaido. Shedding a common assumption that all Ainu live in Hokkaido\, the film captures the feelings\, thoughts and aspirations of Ainu people who try to follow the Ainu way no matter where they live. \n  \nDIRECTOR\, CINEMATOGRAPHER\, EDITOR: Hiroshi Moriya\, \nHiroshi Moriya is a former TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) director\, who directed documentary programs on indigenous people in Siberia and in the Amazon rainforest. At one time he travelled from the Arctic through the five continents to the Antarctic\, filming wild animals. He received the High Vision Award 2000 for his “The Philosophers of the Forest\, the Mehinaku”\, which is a documentary film on an Amazon indigenous people. \nHe resigned from TBS in order to pursue a land- based lifestyle and learned Permaculture\, a design theory to create sustainable life\, while being engaged in farming and gardening. He is now based in Tokyo\, being a freelance film director and a vegetable farmer. \n(c) “TOKYO Ainu” Film Production Committee \n \n  \nTokyo Ainu Website > \nAinu Museum > \nAinu Report on UNHCR > \nFoundation For Ainu Culture \nOther Ainu related links from Ainu Association of Hokkaido > \nAINU: Indigenous Peoples in Japan (United Nations short video) \n

SUMMARY:IKIGAI FILMS: Cutie and the Boxer
DESCRIPTION:Cutie and the Boxer\nDirected by Zachary Heinzerling (2013) 81 minutes \nThe Academy Award nominated Cutie and the Boxer is a moving account of the chaotic and unconventional 40-year love affair and creative partnership between action painter Ushio Shinohara and his wife\, Noriko\, also an artist. Ushio\, who punches canvases with paint-laden gloves\, is famous in Japan and in Manhattan’s art circles\, yet wider recognition has eluded him. Noriko\, 21 years his junior\, put her artistic ambitions on hold to be a wife and mother — and an assistant to her demanding husband. Now\, Noriko’s acclaimed “Cutie” series of drawings\, depicting the relationship between the title character and a volatile figure named Bullie\, is turning their world upside down. Winner\, Directing Award: U.S. Documentary\, 2013 Sundance Film Festival. \n \nIkigai Film Series \nWhat keeps you going? How do you stay happy\, and live a long life? These are some universal questions that will be explored in this film series that looks into the concept of IKIGAI. In Japanese\, IKIGAI生き甲斐 essentially means “reason for being” or the thing that makes your life worthwhile\, and we will catch a glimpse of how IKIGAI plays a role in the lives of remarkable Japanese people in these four documentaries.

SUMMARY:IKIGAI FILMS: Kendo's Grueling Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Kendo’s Grueling Challenge: The 120 second Test of Spirit\n心で闘う120秒　剣道・日本最難関試験に挑む\nDirector Hiroshi Tanami (1997) 48 minutes \nProduced by NHK\, English language version produced by JAMCO & The Japan Foundation \nJapanese fencing\, kendo (the way of the sword)\, combines sport with art\, and entrance into the highest ranks is dependent upon passing a gruelling examination. Two professional kendo practitioners\, Kenichi Ishida and Kai Miyamoto\, walk us through the finer points of this martial art as several candidates compete during the one-day hachidan qualifying exam. \nRANKING SYSTEM IN KENDO \nUnlike Judo or Karate\, Kendo does not have any visible marks or colored belts to indicate your rank. The beginner grades are called Kyu and start from 10 Kyu to 1 Kyu. \nOnce you reach 1 Kyu level\, you are ready to take the first master’s grade\, which is called Dan (equal to black belt in other Japanese martial arts). In kendo there are eight Dan\, starting with first Dan and ending with eight. \nThe Kendo eighth Dan exam is notoriously difficult\, and famous for having the lowest success rate in Japan (less than 1%). The next most difficult test in Japan is the justice or bar exam with success rate of just over 3%. This is explored in this documentary. \n \nIkigai Film Series \nWhat keeps you going? How do you stay happy\, and live a long life? These are some universal questions that will be explored in this film series that looks into the concept of IKIGAI. In Japanese\, IKIGAI生き甲斐 essentially means “reason for being” or the thing that makes your life worthwhile\, and we will catch a glimpse of how IKIGAI plays a role in the lives of remarkable Japanese people in these four documentaries.

SUMMARY:IKIGAI FILMS Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki
DESCRIPTION:Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki\nDirected by Kaku Arakawa (2018) 70 minutes \nIn 2013\, Academy Award®-winning* film director and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki\, creator of such legendary films as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro\, suddenly announced his retirement. But still he couldn’t shake his burning desire to create. \nAfter an encounter with young CGI animators\, Miyazaki embarks on a new project using these techniques. But the artist\, who has been adamant about hand-drawn animation\, confronts many challenges that threaten to cancel the film. Can an old master who thinks he’s past his prime shine once again? Shot over two years\, Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki provides a unique\, fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative process of one of animation’s most iconic storytellers. \n*2015: Honorary Award; 2002: Best Animated Feature\, Spirited Away \n \nIkigai Film Series \nWhat keeps you going? How do you stay happy\, and live a long life? These are some universal questions that will be explored in this film series that looks into the concept of IKIGAI. In Japanese\, IKIGAI生き甲斐 essentially means “reason for being” or the thing that makes your life worthwhile\, and we will catch a glimpse of how IKIGAI plays a role in the lives of remarkable Japanese people in these four documentaries. \n

SUMMARY:NITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the upcoming concert featuring Tsugaru shamisen and Piano duo AGA-SHIO on August 23\, 2019 \nSPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFER! > For a limited time\, AGA-SHIO concert tickets can be purchased in person at JFT for $22.00 (cash only) before and after the NITABOH film screenings on August 7 + 8. Regular online ticket price is $29.50. \nNITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen\nAugust 7\, 2019\, 6:30 PM & August 8\, 2019\, 2:00 PM\n@JFT\, admission free\, RSVP below \nDirected by Akio Nishizawa (2004) 99 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles \nThis feature is the animated biography of Nitaro Akimoto\, the blind musician who founded the Tsugaru style of playing the shamisen\, three-string guitar. The shamisen you hear in the film is performed by Hiromitsu Agatsuma of AGA-SHIO. It is an excellent chance to hear his playing\, which conveys a feeling close to the spirit of the original pioneer Nitaboh. \nSee Hiromitsu Agatsuma LIVE at the AGA-SHIO concert!  concert details here > \nMore About Hiromitsu Agatsuma’s techniques revealed on the screen; \nThe process to create an animation whose movements match the sound of the shamisen\, the key element of “NITABOH\,” was not easy\, either. The skilled shamisen player Hiromitsu Agatsuma covered Nitaro’s shamisen performance in the move. In contrast to traditional animations\, we tried to show the subtle movements of the plectrum and fingers pressed on the three strings. The music scenes from “NITABOH” were created to exactly match the shamisen music used in the movie. \nFirst we shot the real shamisen performance and recorded it on videotape. Watching the videotape\, we created the timesheets that comprised a considerable numbers of frames (24 frames per second). Based on the videotape and the timesheets\, the animators drew the animation – the movement of the shamisen and its player. At one point the plectrum hits the strings nine times in one second; in order to animate the scene\, we need to allocate quite a few animation cells to just one frame. An ordinary theatrical animation movie requires only one cell per two to three frames. Meanwhile\, every shamisen scene in “NITABOH” incorporated many cells per one frame. We all appreciate the painstaking effort of the production staff who kept close check-ups at each scene.

SUMMARY:Cinema Kabuki 2019 TORONTO
DESCRIPTION:Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto\nNovember 9 & 10\nAt TIFF Bell Lightbox \nin High Definition on the Big Screen \nDirect from Japan \nSubtitled in English \nincluding Canadian premiere of Akoya \n  \n  \nKabuki Theatre\, with origins dating back to the 1600s\, has remained steeped in tradition while constantly innovating itself. Live productions\, featuring some of today’s greatest Kabuki stars\, are now being filmed with high resolution cameras for screening in cinemas on state-of-the-art digital projection systems and six-channel sound. \n________________________________________ \nCinema Kabuki\nTIFF Bell Lightbox \n350 King Street West\, Toronto \n  \nSaturday\, November 9\, 2019 \n11:30 am Kumagai’s Camp \n2:00 pm Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet  \n  \nSunday\, November 10\, 2019 \n11:00 am Akoya NEW \n1:30 pm Three Thieves Named Kichisa \n  \nAdvanced tickets on sale on October 9\, 2019 \nOnline at https://am.ticketmaster.com/tiff3/#/ \nand in person at the Lightbox box office \nPer screening\, each program $24.80\, including tax and handling charge \n  \nFor more information: www.jftor.org \n416.966.1600 ex.229 \n\nKumagai’s Camp \n(a samurai tragedy) \nKumagai Jin’ya \n  \nPremiered in 1751 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Namika Sōsuke \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2010 \n104 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLsXQXWbDjU \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/kumagai.php \n  \nA samurai hero struggles on the battlefield. But on his day of triumph\, Kumagai\, one of the commanding officers\, suffers in agony trying to fulfill his duty and devotion to his lord Yoshitsune. This play was originally written for the puppet theatre and\, through its formal structure\, achieves the passion and solemnity of classic drama. A powerful warrior is transformed from a statuesque figure to a pure victim of the inhumanity of war. This character development is depicted stylistically through the sung narration of Gidayū music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n\nDōjōji – A Lover’s Duet \n(a dance performance) \nKyokanoko Musume Ninin Dōjōji \n二人道成寺　京鹿子娘二人道成寺　きょうかのこ むすめににん どうじょうじ \n \nPremiered in 1753 \nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Naoya Hasumi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2006 \n71 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/ninin_dojoji.php \n  \nTamasaburo\, one of Japan’s most renowned dancers\, and rising star Kikunosuke create elegant mirror images to underscore the beauty and eroticism of one soul divided by the sacred and the profane in Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet.  Abandoning the sacred path has transformed a beautiful young woman into a serpent. Dancing at a dedication ceremony for a temple bell\, the woman/serpent rediscovers her higher self. \n\nAkoya \n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n \nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2015 \n93 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles. \n\nThree Thieves Named Kichisa \n(an urban outlaw story) \nSan’nin Kichisa \n三人吉三 \n \nPremiered in 1860 \nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami \nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi \nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014 \n136 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=oBtmU5KSkmQ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg \nSynopsis and background: \nhttp://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n  \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere. Urban culture was overripe. Three thieves happen to meet on a dark New Year’s night. They feel compassion for each other instantly and vow brotherhood.

SUMMARY:Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto\nNovember 9 & 10\nAt TIFF Bell Lightbox \nin High Definition on the Big Screen \nDirect from Japan \nSubtitled in English \nincluding Canadian premiere of Akoya \n  \n  \nKabuki Theatre\, with origins dating back to the 1600s\, has remained steeped in tradition while constantly innovating itself. Live productions\, featuring some of today’s greatest Kabuki stars\, are now being filmed with high resolution cameras for screening in cinemas on state-of-the-art digital projection systems and six-channel sound. \n________________________________________ \nCinema Kabuki\nTIFF Bell Lightbox \n350 King Street West\, Toronto \n  \nSaturday\, November 9\, 2019 \n11:30 am Kumagai’s Camp \n2:00 pm Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet  \n  \nSunday\, November 10\, 2019 \n11:00 am Akoya NEW \n1:30 pm Three Thieves Named Kichisa \n  \nAdvanced tickets on sale on October 9\, 2019 \nOnline at https://am.ticketmaster.com/tiff3/#/ \nand in person at the Lightbox box office \nPer screening\, each program $24.80\, including tax and handling charge \n  \nFor more information: www.jftor.org \n416.966.1600 ex.229 \n\nKumagai’s Camp \n(a samurai tragedy) \nKumagai Jin’ya \n  \nPremiered in 1751 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Namika Sōsuke \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2010 \n104 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLsXQXWbDjU \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/kumagai.php \n  \nA samurai hero struggles on the battlefield. But on his day of triumph\, Kumagai\, one of the commanding officers\, suffers in agony trying to fulfill his duty and devotion to his lord Yoshitsune. This play was originally written for the puppet theatre and\, through its formal structure\, achieves the passion and solemnity of classic drama. A powerful warrior is transformed from a statuesque figure to a pure victim of the inhumanity of war. This character development is depicted stylistically through the sung narration of Gidayū music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n\nDōjōji – A Lover’s Duet \n(a dance performance) \nKyokanoko Musume Ninin Dōjōji \n二人道成寺　京鹿子娘二人道成寺　きょうかのこ むすめににん どうじょうじ \n \nPremiered in 1753 \nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Naoya Hasumi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2006 \n71 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/ninin_dojoji.php \n  \nTamasaburo\, one of Japan’s most renowned dancers\, and rising star Kikunosuke create elegant mirror images to underscore the beauty and eroticism of one soul divided by the sacred and the profane in Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet.  Abandoning the sacred path has transformed a beautiful young woman into a serpent. Dancing at a dedication ceremony for a temple bell\, the woman/serpent rediscovers her higher self. \n\nAkoya \n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n \nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2015 \n93 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles. \n\nThree Thieves Named Kichisa \n(an urban outlaw story) \nSan’nin Kichisa \n三人吉三 \n \nPremiered in 1860 \nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami \nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi \nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014 \n136 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=oBtmU5KSkmQ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg \nSynopsis and background: \nhttp://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n  \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere. Urban culture was overripe. Three thieves happen to meet on a dark New Year’s night. They feel compassion for each other instantly and vow brotherhood. But they do not know that this encounter is only one milestone of their fate. Long before the three meet\, their lives have already been entangled. An intricate web of destiny eventually drives them to their deaths. Kankuro\, Shichinosuke\, and Matsuya are three of the most promising young Kabuki actors. This classic play is given new life by these young talents in an unconventional production by Kushida at a contemporary venue\, Theater Cocoon\, located in the Shibuya district of Tokyo\, known as the Street of Youth. \n  \nIn association with Consulate General of Japan in Toronto \nPresented by The Japan Foundation \nFor more information: 416.966.1600 ext.229 \nwww.jftor.org \n\nシネマ歌舞伎2019トロント \n2019年11月9日・10日 \nトロント上映十周年、3年ぶり8回目となるシネマ歌舞伎上映 \nHDハイ・デフィニションの大画面で観る歌舞伎 \n全作品英語字幕付 \n  \nTIFF Bellライトボックス \nTIFF Bell Lightbox \n350 King Street West\, Toronto \n日加修好90周年記念 \n入場料: 各上映$20＋税・手数料 \n前売り:　オンラインで販売中　tiff.net/specialevents \n当日売り:　上映館にて \n在トロント日本国総領事館、国際交流基金共催 \n問い合わせ: 416.966.1600 x.229 \n  \n【上映日程・上映作品】\n11月9日（土曜）午前11時30分　『熊谷陣屋』 \n『一谷嫩軍記』【いちのたに、ふたば、 ぐんき】時代物義太夫狂言（武家の戦の悲劇） \n英題Kumagai’s Camp \n2010年東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録　104分　英語字幕 \n武将の戦いは心身の奥深くにまで及ぶ。勝利の日にも、主君義経への忠義と献身を全うするため、熊谷直実は苦衷の底にある。もともと人形浄瑠璃のために書かれた本作では、その様式的な構造が、古典的なドラマの格式を高めている。無双の武人が、彫刻的に佇立するような存在から、無情な戦争の哀れな犠牲者へと急転落する。こうした人物像の変化は、義太夫節の声と三味線によって骨太に描かれ、舞台上には、吉衛門・富十郎・藤十郎の三人の人間国宝が、華麗な歴史絵巻を繰り広げる。 \n  \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLsXQXWbDjU \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/kumagai.php \n  \n11月9日（土曜）午後2時　『二人道成寺』 \n  \n『京鹿子娘二人道成寺』【きょうかのこ、むすめ、 ににん 、どうじょうじ】所作事（舞踊作品） \n英題Dojoji – A Lover’s Duet \n71分　2006年東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録　英語字幕 \n長唄舞踊の最高峰であり、女形芸の究極とも言われるのが『京鹿子娘道成寺』。その二人版改作である『二人娘道成寺』を、玉三郎が一人の女性の執念が二人の肉体で表現される作品として新解釈、歌舞伎界の若きホープ菊之助を得て、めくるめく美の世界が花開く。二人は時に寸分違わぬ密度で息を合わせ、時には鏡に映る姿のように対称を守り、またある時は身振りと目線で対話し心を通わせ合う。江戸の女性美は、華やかに、悩ましく官能的に、そしてあどけなく、観る者の心を掴んで離さない。桜花爛漫の舞台に、春を迎える色鮮やかな演目。 \n  \n  \n  \n11月10日（日曜）午前11時　『阿古屋琴責め』　 \n『壇浦兜軍記』【だんのうら、かぶと、ぐんき】時代物義太夫狂言 \n英題 Akoya \n人形浄瑠璃として初演1732年　文耕堂・長谷川千四作 \n歌舞伎初演1738年 \n93分　2015年10月東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録 \n       英語字幕 \n戦い敗れた平家の将景清は、源氏に追われる身。その景清の愛人、京都五条坂の遊女阿古屋が詮議の場へ引き出され、恋人の行方を尋問される。詮議に当たる重忠は、肉体の苦痛に訴える拷問を敢えて避け、三種類の楽器を阿古屋に奏でさせる。奏者に心やましきものがあれば、おのずと楽の音が濁り乱れるはず。舞台上で琴・三味線・胡弓を実際に演奏し、歌い、かつ恋人への情熱と身の潔白を吐露する難役中の難役に、現代歌舞伎女形の最高峰玉三郎が挑む。 \n  \n  \n三種の楽器の音色に現れるか、恋の真と敗軍の将の行方 \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=LjSwZYxL2bU \n日本語あらすじ: http://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/2134 \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \n11月10日（日曜）午後1時30分　『三人吉三』 \n『三人吉三廓初買』【さんにん きちさ くるわの はつかい】世話物（裏街の無法者達の物語） \n　　　英題 Three Thieves Named Kichisa \n1860年初演　河竹黙阿弥作 \n舞台演出・シネマ歌舞伎監督　串田和美 \n136分　2014年東京渋谷シアター・コクーンでライヴ収録 \n英語字幕 \n  \n  \n19世紀初めの江戸、大都市の爛熟した文化の最下部には、不良や無法者が蠢いていた。三人の盗人が新年の夜の闇の中で出会い、不思議な共感に導かれて義兄弟の契りを結ぶ。その時三人の誰もが、この出会いは、連綿と続く彼らの運命の糸の皮肉なもつれの、ほんの一部でしかなかった事に気づく術もなかった。三人が顔を合わせるはるか以前に、彼らの人生はもつれ合っていた。運命の網は三人をからめ捕り、ついには死に至らしめる。三人の頼もしい若手歌舞伎俳優、勘九郎・七之助・松也が大暴れ、串田和美の革新的な演出で、古典作品に新たな息吹が与えられる。若者の街、東京渋谷のシアター・コクーンでの実況録画。 \n  \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FikN3jxiLxU \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n \n[END]

The ancient castle is a symbol of Okinawa’s cultural heritage\, and also an important cultural and historical symbol for Japan and for cultures around the world. \nThe planned Okinawa Film series will continue\, but take on a different significance with news of this tragedy. We encourage you to come out to show support and learn more about this beautiful region.  \n\nThe Okinawa Film Series celebrates the diverse and rich culture of Okinawa. The first two programs will be made up of seven short films.

The guesthouse was run by just three people\, quiet Ai and talkative Satoru\, and Oba (old lady)\, the brisk guesthouse owner. Meiling’s hopes for a dream vacation is shattered to pieces… \n  \nMOTHER OF THE GROOM ニービチの条件 \nDirected by Tsukasa Kishimoto (2011) 26 min. \nEiichi\, who hasn’t been back home to the island he left years ago\, has returned to announce the engagement to his fiancee Shiori whom he met in Tokyo. \nThe matriarchs don’t approve of the bride-to-be\, setting off a series of battles. To be accepted as a member of the Okinawan family\, the fiancee is tasked to help out with Ukui\, a traditional Okinawan event.
