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:Ryusuke Hamaguchi: PASSION
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Ryusuke Hamaguchi Retrospective: The Theatre of Emotions co-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and Cinema Moderne taking place in Montreal\, we will be featuring three special film screenings of his films in Toronto as well. \n\nPASSION\nDirected by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (115 min.) 2008 Japanese with English subtitles \nFollowing the film will be a MASTER CLASS with director Ryusuke Hamaguchi. \nFilmmakers\, cinema studies students and film fans are welcome!\nA young couple announces their engagement at a celebration with friends whose reactions\, however\, indicate that within the group lurk unspoken\, contradictory feelings concealing affairs of the distant past. While the women go home after the celebration\, the men carry on and end up at the flat of a mutual girlfriend. During that night and the following days\, tension between the participants rapidly comes to the surface and their mutual bonds fundamentally change. \nIn Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s delicately-conceived graduation film\, passion can suggest affection\, anger\, or suffering. The film treats the communication of extreme emotions as a variation on the cycle of violence from which there is seemingly no escape. \nRyusuke Hamaguchi – The Theatre of Emotions \n \n  \nCommunity Partner \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ryusuke Hamaguchi: HAPPY HOUR Part 3
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Ryusuke Hamaguchi Retrospective: The Theatre of Emotions co-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and Cinema Moderne taking place in Montreal\, we will be featuring three special film screenings of his films in Toronto as well. Director will be in attendance for some of the screenings. Stay tuned for more details! \n\nHAPPY HOUR\nPart 3 of 3 (1hr 54 min)\n@SPADINA THEATRE\, Alliance Francaise Toronto (Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi in attendance for Q+A) \nA powerful affirmation of the immersive potential of cinema. Happy Hour is a slow-burning epic chronicling the emotional journey of four thirtysomething women in the misty seaside city of Kobe. As they navigate the unsteady currents of their work\, domestic\, and romantic lives a sudden\, unexpected rift opens between that propels each to a new\, richer understanding of life and love. Filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s wise\, precisely observed\, compulsively watchable drama of friendship and midlife awakening runs over five hours\, yet the leisurely duration is not an indulgence but a strategy to create a novelistic space for everyday moments to become charged with possibility that yields a subtle emotional intensity rarely possible in a standard-length film. Happy Hour is far more than just an ordinary melodrama. It is a spectacularly complex and fiercely poetic rendering of the details of daily life in which ideas and feelings are swayed by the unseen forces of friendship and love and buffeted by the weight of deception\, loyalty and tradition. \nWinner of awards at major international festivals—including Locarno\, where stars Sachie Tanaka\, Hazuki Kikuchi\, Maiko Mihara and Rira Kawamura shared the Golden Leopard for Best Actress—Happy Hour has brought new attention to the work and career of one of Japan’s most talented young directors.

SUMMARY:Cross Cultural Socialization: Raising children in a bicultural environment
DESCRIPTION:There are many benefits to living in a place such as Toronto\, where various ethnic groups enrich the cultural fabric of the city and children learn from an early age how to coexist with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Yet a multicultural environment can also present a challenge for parents who wish to maintain their own ethnic/cultural identity and pass it on to the next generation. \nThis talk will focus on families in which at least one of the parents is of Japanese heritage\, although the content will likely be of relevance to any culturally diverse family. How do those families navigate the process of bicultural (sometimes multicultural) child rearing? We will look at cases where the family is on a temporary work assignment\, as well as cases where the stay in Canada is permanent. Cross-cultural marriages provide yet another twist to this process. \nSome statistics and data from academic studies will be used to provide a background to the talk. Dr. Kano Podolsky will however present many anecdotes from her personal experience growing up as a kaigai-shijo (overseas child) and kikoku-shijo (returnee)\, as well as being married to a Canadian and raising two children (now adults) in a bicultural environment.  Q&A to follow. \n  \nMomo Kano Podolsky is a “Third Culture Kid”; born in Japan\, her family moved to England when she was three years old. Due to her father’s occupation\, the family then moved to France when she was four. She then returned to Japan and attended high-school\, university and graduate school before coming to Toronto for PhD studies. Dr. Kano Podolsky earned her PhD in Sociology and Ethnic Studies\, from the University of Toronto (Thesis title: “A study of Kaigai-shijo socialization: Children of Japanese temporary residents in Toronto\, Canada”). Her areas of specialization include cross-cultural socialization (Kaigai-Kikokushijo and “Third Culture Kids”) and ethnic identity retention. Dr. Kano Podolsky has previously held positions such as Associate Professor in Sociology at Kyoto Women’s University and Lecturer in Japanese Culture and Society at York University\, Glendon College. She currently holds the position of Program Administrator and Research Officer at the R.F. Harney Program in Ethnic\, Immigration and Pluralism Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy\, University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Ryusuke Hamaguchi: HAPPY HOUR
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION for the Saturday April 27\, 2019 screening is now CLOSED.\nThank you for your interest. We can not guarantee seats\, but will have a rush line starting 30 minutes before the event\, and will start to release unclaimed seats 10 minutes before the event. \nPlease join us for the second round of screenings of HAPPY HOUR:\nPart 1: Friday May 10\, 6:30 PM @JFT  \nPart 2: Monday May 13\, 6:30 PM @JFT \nPart 3: Wednesday May 15\, 7:00 PM @Alliance Francaise de Toronto with Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi in attendance for Q+A \n  \nIn conjunction with the Ryusuke Hamaguchi Retrospective: The Theatre of Emotions co-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and Cinema Moderne taking place in Montreal\, we will be featuring three special film screenings of his films in Toronto as well. Director will be in attendance for some of the screenings. Stay tuned for more details! \n\nHAPPY HOUR\nDirected by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (317 min.) 2015 Japanese with English subtitles \nA powerful affirmation of the immersive potential of cinema. Happy Hour is a slow-burning epic chronicling the emotional journey of four thirtysomething women in the misty seaside city of Kobe. As they navigate the unsteady currents of their work\, domestic\, and romantic lives a sudden\, unexpected rift opens between that propels each to a new\, richer understanding of life and love. Filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s wise\, precisely observed\, compulsively watchable drama of friendship and midlife awakening runs over five hours\, yet the leisurely duration is not an indulgence but a strategy to create a novelistic space for everyday moments to become charged with possibility that yields a subtle emotional intensity rarely possible in a standard-length film. Happy Hour is far more than just an ordinary melodrama. It is a spectacularly complex and fiercely poetic rendering of the details of daily life in which ideas and feelings are swayed by the unseen forces of friendship and love and buffeted by the weight of deception\, loyalty and tradition. \nWinner of awards at major international festivals—including Locarno\, where stars Sachie Tanaka\, Hazuki Kikuchi\, Maiko Mihara and Rira Kawamura shared the Golden Leopard for Best Actress—Happy Hour has brought new attention to the work and career of one of Japan’s most talented young directors.

SUMMARY:Four Seasons of Gardens in Kyoto: Photographs by Katsuhiko Mizuno
DESCRIPTION:April 25 – July 31\, 2019\nFour Seasons of Gardens in Kyoto: Photographs by Katsuhiko Mizuno\n『四季の京都の庭園』写真　水野克比古\nJapanese culture has been strongly influenced by foreign culture and aesthetics from time to time\, such as Chinese Buddhism  in the ancient period\, Zen Buddhism in medieval times\, Confucian philosophy during the Edo Shogunate\, and European modern civilization in the Meiji period. Japanese gardens were not an exception and experienced constant transfiguration under foreign influence. However\, over the centuries\, although in different forms\, Japanese gardens maintained some kind of continuity. One of the unique characteristics of the Japanese garden is the relationship between man and nature. \nIn describing his own creations of over 40 years\, Kyoto-born photographer Katsuhiko Mizuno has said that nothing in his photos is either purely artificial or purely natural. He always sees someone’s hands or glances behind a tree or a rock in the gardens and captures the aura of timeless spirits with his camera. In the old capital of Kyoto even nature unfolds its seasonal cycle in the context of human history. \nApril 25 – July 31\, 2019 \nShow GALLERY HOURS  \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nApril 27\, May 11\, June 8&22\, July 6&20 \nDoors Open Toronto 10:00 am – 5:00 pm: May 25&26 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nVictoria Day May 20\, Canada Day: July 1 \nAdmission Free \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto  \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229

SUMMARY:Chikyu Films: Hunt for Matsutake
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\nTHE HUNT FOR MATSUTAKE\nApril 4\, 6:30 PM & April 17\, 2:00 PM \nDirected by Alejandro Yoshizawa (40 min.) 2011  \nPreceding the film\, we will be screening the short films of the We Heart Canada and Japan 90 Short Film Contest (20 min). There will also be a Q+A and discussion after the film about Matsutake culture and foraging in Japan and Canada. \nThis documentary looks at Japanese-Canadian history and the history of Matsutake hunting. Matsutake – a delicacy in Japanese cuisine – can only be found in the wild\, and is both a commercial and cultural symbol. The film chronicles annual trips into the forests of Canada in search of the elusive and much sought-after mushroom. \n \nI believe there is something unique about these rare\, precious mushrooms. For more than just their earthy aroma\, they are special to many Japanese people in North America\, symbolizing a connection to Japan yet rooted (literally) in Canadian and American soil. This simple Fall tradition flourished before and now alongside the now multi-million dollar matsutake exporting industry. \nBy documenting matsutake hunting\, I hope to learn about our shared history. Yet perhaps most of all\, I would like to tell a simple\, sweet\, and heartwarming story decades in the making. \nFall can’t come fast enough. – Alejandro Yoshizawa  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Edo Hyaku Talk Series\, Part III
DESCRIPTION:Edo Hyaku Talk Series\, Part III: HIROSHIGE\, EDO ARTIST\nTalk and slide presentation about the woodblock prints from Hiroshige’s Edo Hyaku\, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series.\nCoinciding with the exhibition Landmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo: Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo \nBy Carol Dorman\, Stuart Jackson Gallery\, Toronto \nAdmission free\, Reservation required \nMonday\, April 8\, 2019\, 6:30-8:00 P.M. \nEdo Hyaku Talk Part III: Hiroshige\, Edo Artist \n \nHiroshige was a son of Edo\, truly one of the most remarkable cities that ever existed.  Edo’s unique culture provided fertile ground for all manner of arts to flourish and for the growth of some of Japan’s most famous artists.   In many ways Hiroshige’s career path was typical for the time until his lyrical and sometimes breathtaking 1833-34 series of The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō proved to be a best-seller.  That series established him as a master of the genre and he continued to produce popular landscape series through the rest of his career.  He achieved a lasting relevance because of the beauty\, novelty and variety of his compositions\, but also through his choice of subject matter.  More than any other artist of the time\, Hiroshige showed us his world:  the countryside\, the cities\, and their inhabitants.  His monumental Edo Hyaku series is a portrait of the seasons\, the moods\, the variety and the beauty of that city – Hiroshige’s city. \n \nCarol Dorman has been an associate at the Stuart Jackson Gallery\, specializing in antique Japanese prints (ukiyo-e)\, for over 20 years.  Ms. Dorman has lectured on ukiyo-e to various groups in Ontario and Quebec and most recently at the University of Delhi\, India.  She has curated and been involved in print exhibitions at the Japan Foundation\, the Gardiner Museum\, and the Stuart Jackson Gallery and in 2018 she began teaching classes in Japanese art and culture through Ryerson’s Life Institute.  Ms. Dorman became interested in Japanese art at university and began collecting ukiyo-e prints while completing a Master of Arts degree in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Toronto.
