[KineJapan] Kyoto International Film Festival

[Bernardi, Joanne]

A wealth of streaming options from the fall film festival season continues to challenge us….

The Kyoto International Film Festival, featuring streaming options from Mon 10/11-Sun 10/17, is again featuring a “Silent/Classic Film” program. It includes “Omocha eiga de mita Shõwa – Nichū sensō (A Toy Film History of Showa – The Second Sino-Japanese War), a compilation of news film and some pretty remarkable home movie footage from the Toy Film Museum by Ota Yoneo (this has English language subtitles and is a shortened “pilot version” of a longer film in the works); “Retro Kyoto 1930;” “Kyoto News de miru Gion Matsuri, 1956-1989;” “The Lost World,” comic shorts and  other titles. All silents include benshi performance and/or piano accompaniment. I think all the films in this program are free once you register.
