[KineJapan] Online films / event Mariko Tetsuya

[Zahlten, Alexander]

Hello Everyone,



Just to point out a great opportunity, Mana Contemporary in cooperation with Full Spectrum Pictures has started streaming a different film for free every in week in their Shorts from Underground series.



This week’s film is Mariko Tetsuya’s extraordinary Far East Mansion (Kyokutô no Manshon, 2003, 32 minutes); next week from Monday that will switch to his brilliant follow-up Mariko’s 30 Pirates (Mariko Sanjûki, 2004, 28 minutes). And on Friday, May 15, at 6:00 pm Central they will host a live-streamed discussion between Mariko-san and myself about the films.



This is a very rare opportunity to see Mariko-san’s early and quite legendary films - which won him the main prize at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival two years in a row.



Mariko Tetsuya is best know outside of Japan for winning the Best Emerging Director Award at Locarno for Destruction Babies (2016) and for winning a whole host of the big film prizes for 2019 in Japan with Miyamoto (2019).



You can find the film and more about the program here:

Hopefully you have time to take a look-



All best,

Alex
