>> I assume that anyone in the UK knows of the BFI’s Japan season, running until the end of the year, but just in case it’s not on everyone’s radar, I thought I’d mention the seasons running at ‘Close-up’ on Hamaguchi, documentaries and experimental films.  I’d particularly recommend ‘Book, Paper, Scissors’ by HIROSE Nanako, this Friday for anyone interested in graphic arts, books or just a fine documentaries. I caught it at Nippon Connection.

>> With a pair of new features premiering to immediate international acclaim – anthology *Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy* awarded the Silver Bear at February’s Berlinale and the epic *Drive My Car* subsequently winning the Prix du Scénario and FIPRESCI prizes at July’s Cannes Film Festival – writer-director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi has at last been rightly recognised as one of the most talented, fascinating filmmakers of his generation. Curated by Ross McDonnell, this programme is the first UK retrospective of this prolific filmmaker, and a rare opportunity to explore a uniquely-thrilling body of work. read more <https://closeupfilmcentre.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=57e249d09500d0a296cbd7103&id=029f6724e8&e=4e6a6d9166>

>>  
>> 
>> Urban, Natural, Human is a touring programme curated by Day for Night, exploring art, architecture and design through the moving image. With its core themes of the built and natural environments in contemporary Japan, the programme will reflect on regeneration, recovery and creativity, not least in the year of the 10th anniversary of the Tohuku earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster. The programme is framed through historical, current and future contexts – the impact of war, post-war regeneration, natural and man-made catastrophes, reconstruction and renewal, urban and rural development, the urban experience and the future of cities, while exploring Japanese culture, history and society more broadly.* *read more <https://closeupfilmcentre.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=57e249d09500d0a296cbd7103&id=82d90e20ee&e=4e6a6d9166>
