Wow, I haven't update this thing in a while! Well, I have about one more month of summer left and just when I thought, all the film events were coming to a close in NY, I found one more!
Check it out:
The Film Society of Lincoln Center will pay tribute to “film ambassador” Kashiko Kawakita, on the centenary of her birth, with the film series Japanese Screen Classics: In Honor of Madame Kawakita. Kawakita, who helped establish the Japan Film Library Council, to preserve prints of the finest works of Japanese cinema, and who sat on twenty-six film-festival juries around the world during her lifetime, died in 1993. Beginning this Wednesday, July 30, and running through August 14, the program will feature twenty-four essential films from Japan, all by directors who have won the prestigious Kawakita Award, including Akira Kurosawa, Seijun Suzuki, Kaneto Shindo, Shohei Imamura, and Kon Ichikawa.
