Since FCCJ is a private club, you must reserve your seats through Screenings Curator Karen Severns: kjs30 at gol.com.  

Please make sure you book by February 21.

FCCJ SNEAK PREVIEW SCREENING
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23 at 7:00 pm

SNOW WOMAN (Yuki Onna)
Japan, 2016  95 minutes  Japanese with English subtitles
Followed by a Q&A session with director-star Kiki Sugino and costar Munetaka Aoki

Join the Film Committee for an alluring, elliptical retelling of a haunting tale: Kiki Sugino’s TIFF Competition standout, “Snow Woman.” The writer-director-star leads a stellar cast (and crew) in her gorgeously lensed reinterpretation of the oft-told “Woman of the Snow,” from Lafcadio Hearn’s 1904 anthology “Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things.” Shot in Sugino’s home prefecture of Hiroshima, but set in a timeless era when mountaineers sleep in huts under straw mats while factory workers engage in the production of modern electrical products, Sugino’s stylized, enigmatic work is daringly short on dialog and long on metaphor. There are scenes of such trancelike beauty and mesmerizing mystery, that the viewer soon stops puzzling over the many riddles, and succumbs to the film’s stately pace and poetic power. Sugino will be on hand with her costar, Munetaka Aoki, for the Q&A session following the screening.
