The programming is incredibly smart, with a bunch of surprises. One is sidestepping Minamata and Sanrizuka to pose dam construction as a through line in Japanese documentary history. I thought that was very interesting. One of the pleasures of this series is seeing the choices for the canonical directors. In many cases, they are not the works that are most popular or best known, but rather the best overlooked films by the best directors. It feels like a productive intervention; programming is, after all, the writing of film history at a fundamental level.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> In any case, these films are hard to see and the selection is well-rounded, eye-opening and fantastic.
