* Kaze Shindo : Juicing up Love Pics  
  26 year-old Kaze Shindo is a director with heavy family luggage.
  The granddaughter of Kaneto Shindo, the famed director of Naked 
  Island, she has been raised in a family where everyone, save her
  mother, is involved in film activities. She tells us in this 
  exclusive interview how movies shaped her personality and led her to 
  a promising feature debut, Love/Juice, prized at Berlin and Creteil 
  Women's Film Festival and on to Moscow Fest this week.

* Masato Harada: Wild Dogged Director  
  Born in in Japan in 1949, Masato Harada found the
  meaning of life in cinema and a mentor in Howard Hawks while living
  in the United States. After tackling social issues in Kamikaze Taxi 
  (ethnic minorities), Bounce Kogals (teenage prostitution) and 
  Jubaku/Spellbound (yakuza corporatism), visual maestro Masato Harada 
  comes back with a strange film mixing forest ghost creatures and 
  incestuous taboos. Inugami won the Best Feature prize at Newport 
  earlier this month.
