SUMMARY:December Films at Innis Town Hall: Casting Blossoms to the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Kono sora no hana: Nagaoka hanabi monogatari •この空の花：長岡花火物語\nDirected by Nobuhiko Obayashi/2012 /160 min/blu-ray/colour \nOut of the blue\, newspaper reporter Reiko gets a letter from her ex-boyfriend Kenichi\, inviting her to see the famous Nagaoka fireworks festival and a performance of a play written by one of his students. With newspaper coverage in mind as well\, Reiko decides to visit Nagaoka. \nThe Nagaoka Fireworks Festival was launched in 1947 as a memorial to war victims and a symbol of peace. Filmed in the wake of the Tohoku Earthquake of 2011\, Casting Blossoms also memorializes the victims of this natural disaster. \nDirector’s Message: \nThe ‘Nagaoka Fireworks’ is this metaphor….\n‘If the entire world’s bombs were shot to the sky as fireworks\, war would disappear’ are the words spoken by painter Yamashita Kiyoshi that reinvigorated the life of an elderly pyrotechnician. Behind the scenes\, there were people who had persistently requested to launch fireworks as a Japan-U.S. integrated memorial at Pearl Harbor. The film depicts as drama the form of those very Nagaoka City citizens’ hopes. It is a type of semi-documentary which could be called “essay cinema.” \nTwo years ago\, the “The Nagaoka Film” project was launched\, and upon completion of the script\, the earthquake of March 11th occurred. Then\, in a lodge at the foot of the Yamakoshi hills in Nagaoka\, where the scars of the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake still linger\, the shooting script was completed. I believe that film is journalism if the ink it is written with is a person’s heart. Let us suffer\, worry\, believe in hope\, and deeply think along with film. That is what is said to be film’s power and beauty. \n-Nobuhiko Obayashi \n\nRegistration\nTo register\, please select the number of tickets and click the “register” button.

SUMMARY:December Films at Innis Town Hall: Ikiru
DESCRIPTION:Ikiru • いきる\nDirected by Akira Kurosawa/B&W /1952/143 min/blu-ray\nKanji Watanabe (Takashi Shimura)\, a devoted single father\, has mindlessly rubber-stamped documents at city hall for 30 years to support his son.  When he receives a diagnosis of terminal stomach cancer\, he throws himself into a seemingly lost cause- turning a vacant lot into a playground for a neighbourhood mothers’ group\, a project that has repeatedly been pushed aside by the city bureaucracy. Considered by many to be Kurosawa’s greatest film\, Ikiru is an inventively structured\, brilliantly performed\, relentless examination of what it means to truly be alive. \n\nBest Picture\, Kinema Jumpo\nBest Film\, Best Screen Play\, Best Sound Recording\, Mainichi Film Concours\nSpecial Prize of the Senate\, Berlin International Film Festival\n\n\nRegistration\nTo register\, please select the number of tickets and click the “register” button.
