SUMMARY:OKINAWA Film Series: Program 2
DESCRIPTION:Okinawa Film Series: Program 2\nNovember 21\, 6:30 PM & November 26\, 2:00 PM \nWith a heavy heart\, The Japan Foundation\, Toronto sends our condolences to the people of Okinawa with the recent news that a fire has destroyed much of Shuri Castle in Okinawa\, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back 500 years. 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. See the beauty and rich culture of Okinawa through the people and stories told in the OKINAWA FILM series. \nFilms courtesy of the generosity of the Okinawa Visitors Bureau and Okinawa Film Office. \n \nTHE CHOSEN ONE 選ばれた男 \nDirected by Gori (2016) 20 min. \nAboard a cruise ship heading from Taiwan to Ishigakijima\, a young Taiwanese man (Yenda Chen) is staring at a letter as he ponders to himself\, “Am I the chosen one?” Set in Ishigakijima\, Okinawa Prefecture\, one of the “Top Three Star-gazing Sites” in Japan\, this film is a heartwarming comedy of how an insecure young man’s destiny begins to change because of a message found in a bottle by the seaside. \n  \nINDIGO LOVE 愛と藍 \nDirected by Judy Sachiko Fukumoto (2012) 20 min. \nMeiling Lan\, an actress from Taiwan\, comes to Okinawa looking forward to a vacation stay at a high-class resort to relieve herself of job stress. But the place she reserved\, “KAFUU”\, was a guesthouse similar only in name to a high-end hotel. 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. Ukui is a ritual to see off the ancestral spirits back to the other world on the last day of Obon (a festival to honor the spirit of the ancestors). \nFor Okinawa Film Series Program 1\, click here >\nGenerously Supported by: Okinawa Visitors Bureau and Okinawa Film Office \n \n  \nCommunity Partner: Toronto Kyuyokai \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Cinéma Japonais: Ugetsu Monogatari
DESCRIPTION:Cinéma JAPONAIS: Thursday Movies @Alliance Francaise \n  \n  \nCo-Presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Alliance Francaise\, Toronto \n@ Alliance Francaise\, SPADINA THEATRE\, 24 Spadina Rd. \nFree admission\, no reservations required   \nUGETSU MONOGATARI 雨月物語\nJanuary 16\, 2020 @7:30 PM \nDirected by Kenji Mizoguchi 1953\, 97 min. Japanese with English subtitles \nUgetsu\, directed by master filmmaker Kenji Mizoguchi\, is a beautiful supernatural tale set in 16th century Kyoto and Shiga prefecture. The films screenwriters Matsutaro Kawaguchi and Yoshikata Yoda wove together two stories from Akinari Uede‘s best-known work\, Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of Moonlight and Rain\, 1776) and French writer Guy de Maupassant‘s Decore! \, 1883. The two stories from Ugetsu Monogatari\, The House in the Thicket and The Lust of the White Serpent (Asaji ga Yado and Jasei no In) are part of a collection of supernatural tales\, which are largely taken from traditional Japanese and Chinese ghost stories. \nBy the time he made Ugetsu\, Kenji Mizoguchi was already an elder statesman of Japanese cinema\, fiercely revered by Akira Kurosawa and other directors of a younger generation. And with this exquisite ghost story\, a fatalistic wartime tragedy\, he created a touchstone of his art\, his long takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly\, Ugetsu reveals essential truths about the ravages of war\, the plight of women\, and the pride of men. \nThe film stars Machiko Kyō\, Mitsuko Mito\, Kinuyo Tanaka\, Masayuki Mori\, and Ei Ozawa. The film won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival and was nominated an Academy Award for for best costume. \nEssay “Ugetsu on the other shore” by Phillip Lopate from the Criterion Collection \nMore info here > \nTrailer below >

SUMMARY:Tokyo & Sports Series: SAPPORO WINTER OLYMPICS
DESCRIPTION:Tokyo & Sports Series\n@JFT\, admission free\, RSVP required \nAll films in Japanese with English subtitles \n  \nThis year is a very special year for Japan\, not only is it the first REIWA year\, but also TOKYO\, the country’s capital\, will be host to the largest sporting event on the planet! It will be taking place in the summer\, and this series will celebrate Tokyo the mega city\, and Sports serve as a count down\, as the opening date approaches. \nFebruary 25\, 2020 will be exactly six months from the start of the Tokyo 2020 PARALYMPICS\, and the evening will be preceded by a screening of the short film about the inaugural Paralympics game\, TOKYO PARALYMPICS “A Song for Social Rehabilitation”  1964\, 11 min. Planned and produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Film Association.  \n\n  \nFebruary 25\, 2020 6:30 PM \nSAPPORO WINTER OLYMPICS 札幌オリンピック\nDirected by Masahiro SHINODA 1972\, 167 min. [Documentary] New HD digital transfer \n  \nMasahiro Shinoda’s interest in sports and experience as an athlete\, he was a long-distance runner\, made him an ideal choice to direct the official film of the XI Olympic Winter Games Sapporo 1972. His work is marked by its gravitas\, and this can be felt in the opening Torch Relay sequence. Few Olympic films can boast such aesthetically pleasing images as this one. Shinoda takes full advantage of the ‘Scope format\, and of the superb equipment at his disposal. Allied to this is a subtle use of sound and silence\, filtering out all extraneous noise when required. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n \nA selection of titles from over 30 films by Masahiro Shinoda include: \n  \nPALE FLOWER 乾いた花 (1964) \nTHE STRANGE STORY OF SARUTOBI SASUKE\, a.k.a.

SUMMARY:The Post-War Cinema of Ozu Yasujiro - THE FLAVOUR OF GREEN TEA OVER RICE
DESCRIPTION:Everyday Life in Japan: The Post-War Cinema of Ozu Yasujiro\nCo-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and The Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto \nInnis Town Hall\, University of Toronto 2 Sussex Ave\, Toronto\, ON M5S 1J5 \nAdmission free\, registration required\, films in Japanese with English subtitles \nNew 4K digital restoration\, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack \n  \n\n \nMarch 8\, 2020 3:00 PM \nThe Flavour of Green Tea over Rice お茶漬の味\nDirected by OZU Yasujiro\, 1952\, 116 min. \nOne of the ineffably lovely domestic sagas made by Yasujiro Ozu at the height of his mastery\, The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice is a sublimely piercing portrait of a marriage coming quietly undone. Secrets and deceptions strain the already tenuous relationship of a childless\, middle-aged couple\, as the wife’s city-bred sophistication bumps up against the husband’s small-town simplicity\, and a generational sea change—in the form of her headstrong\, modern niece—sweeps over their household. The director’s abiding concern with family dynamics receives one of its most spirited treatments\, with a wry\, tender humor and buoyant expansiveness that moves the action from the home into the baseball stadiums\, pachinko parlors\, and ramen shops of postwar Tokyo. \nRETURN TO LIST OF ALL FILMS IN THIS SERIES >  \n  \nCo-Presented by:

In 1959\, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic A Story of Floating Weeds in color with the celebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon\, Ugetsu). Setting his later version in a seaside location\, Ozu otherwise preserves the details of his elegantly simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son\, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all. Together\, the films offer a unique glimpse into the evolution of one of cinema’s greatest directors. A Story of Floating Weeds reveals Ozu in the midst of developing his mode of expression; Floating Weeds reveals his distinct style at its pinnacle. In each\, the director captures the joy and sadness in everyday life.   RETURN TO LIST OF ALL FILMS IN THIS SERIES >    Co-Presented by:
