This is intended as an introduction and homage to one of the world’s great film traditions. We’ve included
works by some of the most revered Japanese directors, including Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa, and by contemporary filmmakers, including Takashi Miike and Hirokazu Kore-Eda, as well as other films that represent Japan’s vital film history across several eras and genres. <span style="color:#1F497D;"></span></p><p class="yiv1914172092MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="yiv1914172092MsoNormal"> The devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 struck Japan and neighboring regions of the Pacific soon after we finalized this schedule, spreading destruction and hardship that we could not have foreseen. In the shadow of those events, we have found it difficult to continue thinking of this series as simply a “celebration.”We do hope, however, that it offers many opportunities to reflect on and appreciate the achievements of Japanese cinema. <span style="color:#1F497D;"></span></p><p
