Shinjuku Diaries: Films from The Art Theatre Guild of Japan celebrates a period in the 1960's and 70's when Japan's film industry was experienceing considerable shifts in its development. The Art Theatre Guild of Japan (ATG), became an alternative to traditional film culture, bringing together outcasts and countercultural icons. Beginning with Imamura's genre blurring 'A Man Vanishes' and Oshima's absurdist farce 'Death by Hanging', ATG became the driving force behind a burst of creativity that molded a generation of Japanese filmmakers.

 

Our season finishes with the iconic Terayama's 'Pastoral Hide and Seek' a fantastical look at a man's past, present and future.
