New York Japan CineFest: Program 2 / Sapporo Short Fest Selection

http://asiasociety.org/new-york/events/new-york-japan-cinefest-program-2

Selected from the 7th Sapporo Short Fest (2012), these short films offers originality in both subject matter and style. Some meditate on serious issues such as the transience of life, horror of war, and aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Others offer quirky humor and lightheartedness towards absurdity of everyday life. Together they provide a glimpse of the vitality of Japanese culture.

New York Japan CineFest: Program 3 / Miyoko (Miyoko Asagaya Kibun)

http://asiasociety.org/new-york/events/new-york-japan-cinefest-program-3-miyoko

Miyoko


Dir. Yoshifumi Tsubota. 2009. 86min. 35mm.
This clever biopic/adaptation is a portrait of the pioneering manga artist Abe Shinichi, who turned his relationship with muse/girlfriend Miyoko into a graphic novel, the cult classic Miyoko Asagaya Kibun. Interweaving parts of the original comic book, with its candid and explicit depictions of the couple’s private and sex life, into the narrative, this film delicately tells the ups and downs of Abe’s career and marriage as he suffers from writer’s block and mental state degradation.

Q&A with Director Yoshifumi Tsubota.
