Kinema Japan at Ohio State's Wexner Center for the Arts

[Joel Dickerson]

It's going to be a wonderful summer at the Wexner Center this year. I live in the Columbus area and would love to be able to meet some fellow Kinema Japaners who might be attending. If you are, please let me know and let's get together for a nice chat!! Hope to see some of you there! 
Peace.

Kinema Japan:This summer the Wexner Center for the Arts Celebrates Japanese Cinema  This series will take viewers to Japan, with selections that encompass the entire spectrum of Japanese filmmaking, from samurai classics to sci-fi stunners. 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.    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.    For details of all of the films, please visit http://www.wexarts.org   Wex Drive-ins are free.
