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. In 1976 she directed her first independent film\, The Cherry Tree with Gray Blossoms\, a personal project she had worked on for many years.

In our showcase we now have a vase of Satsuma ceramic and two pieces of Cloisonné-Enamel. Back in April we photographed these pieces and experienced stunning moments of discoveries. When you look at the details of intricate craft works with the camera’s lenses\, it feels as if an alternate universe unfolds in front of you. The complexity and accuracy of Meiji artisans might have been beyond the level of human eye. Let’s zoom into the Meiji artisans’ universe!

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\n \n\n \nKuruwa Bunshō – Yoshidaya (Love Letters in Pleasure Quarters)\n(A rendezvous in pleasure quarter) \nKuruwa Bunshō – Yoshidaya\n廓文章 吉田屋 くるわ ぶんしょう よしだや \nNizaemon\, Tamasaburo 仁左衛門、玉三郎\nPremiered in 1793 as a puppet theatre play\nPremiered as a Kabuki play in 1808\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, April 2009\n97 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://youtu.be/r8-chzGpNJY\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/kuruwa_bunsho.php \nThe role of Izaemon is performed in the style of wagoto\, one of Kabuki’s stock characters. Although these wagoto-type men are not powerful physically and financially\, Izaemon is such a charmer and the most popular one in the pleasure quarter\, who is sensitive\, childlike\, funny\, and handsome. After a long absence Izaemon tries to reconnect with his lover\, the courtesan Yūgiri\, for a rendezvous. She has been missing him so much that she is lovesick\, yet he accuses her of being unfaithful. This teasing is part of a flirtation\, and the emotional exchanges of the love scene unfold in choreographed movements to the sensuous accompaniment of two groups of music ensembles\, Gidayū and Tokiwazu. These idealized beautiful lovers\, like a fairy-tale prince and princess\, are performed by Kabuki’s golden couple Nizaemon and Tamasaburo.\n\n \n\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 \nTamasaburo\, Kikunosuke\, Kanzaburo 玉三郎、菊之助、勘三郎\nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play\nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, October 2015\n93 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjSwZYxL2bU\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \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 \n\n \nMurder in a Hell of Oil\n(a murder story) \nOnna Goroshi Abura no Jigoku\n女殺油地獄　おんなごろし あぶらの じごく \nKoshiro\, Ennosuke 幸四郎、猿之助\nPremiered as a Bunraku puppet play in 1721\nWritten by CHIKAMATSU Monzaemon\nPremiered as a Kabuki play in 1909\nRecorded live at Shochiku-za Theatre\, Osaka\, July 2018\n103 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WP1hOZjwTU\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/abura_no_jigoku.php \nIn Osaka\, the centre of commerce in 18th-century Japan\, Yohei is the prodigal son of an oil merchant who consumes the family fortune pursuing “pleasures of the night”. In spite of the heartfelt concern of his mother and stepfather\, Yohei will not give up. Finally cornered by loan sharks\, Yohei begs Okichi\, the wife of a fellow oil merchant\, for money. Upon her refusal\, Yohei turns into a cruel murderer. Blood and oil gush in Kabuki’s most spectacular murder scene. Koshirō and Ennosuke\, members of the younger generations of Kabuki actors\, face the challenge of this masterpiece under the supervision of Nizaemon\, a Living National Treasure.\n \n\nシネマ歌舞伎\nハイ・デフィニションの大画面で観る歌舞伎\nHDカメラ8台が捉え、高画質シネマ・プロジェクターで映写、６チャンネル音響で再生される、歌舞伎の醍醐味。\n映画館いっぱいの、生の臨場感と華麗な舞台の魅力。\n全作品英語字幕付 \n♦ Saturday\, July 16\, 2022 \n1:00 PM [Cinema Kabuki: 三人吉三 Three Thieves Named Kichisa] 136 min. \n4:45 PM [Cinema Kabuki: 廓文章 Kuruwa Bunshō] 97 min. \n  \n♦ Sunday\, July 17\, 2022 \n1:00 PM [Cinema Kabuki: 阿古屋 Akoya] 93 min. \n4:00 PM [Cinema Kabuki: 女殺油地獄 Murder in a Hell of Oil] 103 min. \n  \nオンラインチケット購入 \n電話416-599-2033　または対人で、ライトボツクス入場券販売窓口まで\n入場券料各上映　$25.71税手数料込　全席指定 \n\n\n三人吉三 \n世話物串田和美新演出版\n英題 Three Thieves Named Kichisa\n河竹黙阿弥作\n1860年初演\n劇場舞台新演出: 串田和美\n2014年東京渋谷シアター・コクーンでライヴ収録\nシネマ歌舞伎監督: 串田和美\n136分\n予告編 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FikN3jxiLxU\n予告編 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg\n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php\n日本語あらすじ: https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/662/ \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をもとに、串田和美が新たなシネマ歌舞伎版を監督。 \n\n\n廓文章 吉田屋\nくるわ ぶんしょう よしだや \n上方歌舞伎恋模様\n英題 Love Letters in Pleasure Quarters\n近松門左衛門作\n1732年人形浄瑠璃初演\n2015年10月東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録\n93分\n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8-chzGpNJY\n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/kuruwa_bunsho.php\n日本語あらすじ: https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/514/ \nはんなりとした演技に代表される歌舞伎和事芸の神髄を、仁左衛門が伊左衛門役で見せる。腕力も財力もなく、頼りないにもかかわらず、モテモテで、誰からも好かれ、楽しく明るく、繊細でやくしく、無邪気なほどに純粋無垢な色男が、大阪新町の絶世の花魁夕霧と恋仲。しばらく仁左衛門の足が遠のいている間に、夕霧は恋煩いでやつれてしまう。久しぶりの再会に、仁左衛門はすねるは愚痴るはの悪態づく、しかしこれもすべては恋の駆け引き。歌舞伎の黄金コンビ仁左衛門玉三郎の美男美女の邂逅が、義太夫と常磐津の二つの楽曲の掛け合いに乗り、ほとんど舞踊劇化した官能的かつ寓話的な場面に描かれていく。 \n\n \n阿古屋\nだんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき\n時代物義太夫狂言\n英題　Dannoura Kabuto Gunki\n近松門左衛門作\n1732年人形浄瑠璃初演\n2015年10月東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録\n93分\n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM\n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php\n英語あらすじ: https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/\n日本語あらすじ: https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/2134/ \n源平合戦の最中、敗軍の将平景清の逃走先が、景清の愛人、京都五条坂の遊女阿古屋に問いただされる。拷問で口を割らせようとする岩永を押さえ、秩父庄司重忠は、阿古屋に三種類の楽器の演奏を求める。心にやましいものがあれば、楽の音に自ずと乱れが生じるとて、景清の行方を知らないと言い張る阿古屋の言葉の真偽が音楽で問われる。琴・三味線・胡弓を役者自身で演奏し、唄も歌う阿古屋は、女形最大の難役。現代歌舞伎女形の最高峰、人間国宝の坂東玉三郎の代表作、絢爛豪華な舞台。 \n\n\n女殺油地獄\nおんなごろし あぶらの じごく \n世話物殺人ドラマ\n英題　Murder in a Hell of Oil\n出演　幸四郎、猿之助\n近松門左衛門作\n1721年人形浄瑠璃初演\n1909年歌舞伎初演\n2018年7月大阪松竹座でライヴ収録\n103分\n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WP1hOZjwTU\n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/abura_no_jigoku.php\n日本語あらすじ: https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/1450/ \n元禄文化咲き誇る商都大阪で現実の事件を基に、日本のシェイクスピア、近松門左衛門が描く、ある都会的な消費生活者の破綻。商家の道楽息子が借金返済に窮して陥る、家庭内暴力と金目当ての殺人の濃密な世界に、若手歌舞伎俳優幸四郎・猿之助が、人間国宝仁左衛門の監修を受けて挑戦。油の大桶を次々に引き倒しながらの、血まみれ油まみれの殺し場が、圧巻。
