SUMMARY:Chikyu Films: POM POKO
DESCRIPTION:CHIKYU FILMS  \nThis spring\, we will feature a series of films\, CHIKYU FILMS\, which will share the stories and people who examine the close relationship to our environment\, our earth\, or Chikyu 地球 in Japanese. \n \nPOM POKO\nA special Co-presentation between the Japan Foundation\, Toronto and The Revue Cinema \n@Revue Cinema 400 Roncesvalles Ave. \nTickets here >  \nDirected by Isao Takahata\, co-founder of Studio Ghibli (119 min.) 1994 \nJapanese with English subtitles \n  \n \nIn this family friendly film\, the forests are filled with groups of magical tanuki\, mischievous raccoon-like animals from Japanese folklore that are capable of shape-shifting from their standard raccoon form to practically any object. \nThe tanuki spend their days playing idly in the hillsides and squabbling over food – until the construction of a huge new Tokyo suburb clears the nearby forest and threatens their way of life. In an effort to defend their home\, the tanuki learn to transform into humans and start playing tricks to make the workers think the construction site is haunted\, ending in a spectacular night-time spirit parade\, with thousands of ghosts\, dragons and other magical creatures descending on the city — in an abundance of fantastical characters that would not be matched on screen by Studio Ghibli until Spirited Away. \n(All images © 1994 Hatake Jimusho – Studio Ghibli – NH) \nTrailer below:

SUMMARY:DARK & OCCULT Films From Japan: House
DESCRIPTION:Special Co-presentation with The Revue Cinema\nHouse ハウス\nMonday November 19\, 2018 9:15 PM\nDirected by Nobuhiko Obayashi\, 1977\n88 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nGet spooked with these 70’s and 80’s films that explores some dark\, apocalyptic and mysterious themes coming from Japan during the ‘occult film’ boom that was all the rage during that time in Japan. The films are in conjunction with a special lecture by Japanese film scholar Professor Alex Zahlten in November. Prof. Zahlten will discuss some basic shifts in the relationship to media / the media environment that transpired in Japan during this shifting bubble era. Some viewers may find the films disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised. \nHow to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits\, a demonic house cat\, a bloodthirsty piano\, and other ghoulish visions\, all realized by Obayashi via mattes\, animation\, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish\, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. It’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years.  – CRITERION COLLECTION \n  \nTo learn about other DARK & OCCULT films in the series\, click here > \nFILM WILL BE SCREENING AT THE REVUE CINEMA at 400 RONCESVALLES AVE. \nTicket price has been reduced!
