    128 minutes / Color / 2.35 / HD / 5.1 / 2015 SYNOPSIS Mizuki’s husband (Yusuke) drowned at sea three years ago. When he suddenly comes back home, she is not that surprised. Instead, Mizuki is wondering what took him so long. She agrees to let Yusuke take her on a journey. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT In Japanese, there is a verb for the act of accompanying a dying person, or watching over them until their death. It is called « mitoru ». It remains to be seen if it is possible to translate all the subtleties of this word into a foreign language... Rare are those who have gone through the experience of remaining next to a dying person, delicately taking their hand and feeling a vague mutual intention without ever looking away from their face. Fortunately, I have never been confronted with this myself. But according to those who have, those few days, those few hours spent face-to-face with this person constitute a precious and truly sacred moment of sharing. Inside this moment, the past they have shared, the parts of their respective pasts that the other has never known, but also the future that both will one day experience together – all these moments are evoked, evaluated, and understood. The verb « mitoru » includes this entire process. In reality, this extremely intimate and emotional dialogue takes place at the dying person’s bedside. But in the world of fiction, why not stretch time and space out to however long the process requires, narrating it in the form of a « journey »? This is the audacious premise upon which the original novel Kishibe no tabi was built.

    Kurosawa Kiyoshi Profile Prepared by Richard Suchenski Articles Translated by Kendall Heitzman Profile

    Kurosawa Kiyoshi Profile prepared by Richard Suchenski Articles translated by Kendall Heitzman Profile Born in Kobe in 1955, Kurosawa Kiyoshi became interested in filmmaking as an elementary school student after he saw films by Italian horror filmmakers Mario Bava and Gorgio Ferroni. He formed a filmmaking club in high school and made his first Super 8mm short film, Rokkô, in 1973. Kurosawa continued making short 8mm films as a student at Rikkyô University, where he began to attend classes on cinema taught by Hasumi Shigehiko, the most important film critic and theorist of his era. Hasumi’s auteurist approach and deep admiration for American cinema of the 1950s deeply influenced a generation of Rikkyô students that, in addition to Kurosawa, included Suo Masayuki, Shiota Akihiko, Aoyama Shinji, and Shinozaki Makoto. While still a student, Kurosawa won a prize for his film Student Days at the Pia Film Festival in 1978. After presenting Vertigo College at Pia in 1980, he worked on Hasegawa Kazuhiko’s The Man Who Stole the Sun (1979) and Sômai Shinji’s Sailor Uniforms and Machine Guns (1981). Kurosawa was invited to join the Directors Company, an alternative to the major studios that offered creative freedom to young directors such as Hasegawa and Sômai. Under their auspices, he made his feature film debut with the pink film, The Kandagawa Wars, in 1983. Kurosawa next attempted to work directly for a major studio by directing a Nikkatsu Roman Porno entitled Seminar of Shyness, but the studio rejected the film, claiming that it lacked the requisite love interest. The film was eventually purchased from Nikkatsu and released as The Do-Re-Mi-Fa Girl in 1985, but the incident gave him a reputation as an idiosyncratic character and made securing funding for other studio projects difficult.

    Articulations of Salaryman Masculinity in Shôwa and Post-Shôwa Japan by Romit Dasgupta, University of Western Australia

    Volume 15, Number 1 • Fall 2017 Articulations of Salaryman Masculinity in Shôwa and Post-Shôwa Japan by Romit Dasgupta, University of Western Australia Abstract: This paper looks at Japan over the Shôwa (1925—1989) and post- Shôwa, Heisei (1989— ) periods through the discourse of masculinity embodied in the urban, middle-class white- collar “salaryman.” As a sort of “Everyman” of corporate Japan, particularly over the 1960s-1990s, the salaryman came to signify both Japanese masculinity in general, and more specifically Japanese corporate culture. In this regard the discourse of masculinity signified by the salaryman could have been regarded as the culturally privileged hegemonic masculinity. Moreover, despite the corporate re- structurings and socio-economic and cultural shifts in Japan since the 1990s, the salaryman continues to be pivotal to the ways in which Japanese corporate culture, Japanese masculinity, and indeed Japanese national identity continue to be framed. This paper traces the emergence of the discourse of the salaryman in the first decades of the twentieth century, its entrenchment in the post-World War II (postwar) decades as the hegemonic blueprint for Japanese masculinity, and its apparent fragmentation over the decades of economic slowdown since the 1990s.

Three aliens travel to Earth on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for a mass invasion. Having taken possession of human bodies, the visitors rob the hosts of their essence – good, evil, property, family, belonging – leaving only hollow shells, which are all but unrecognizable to their loved ones. Equally hilarious, thrilling, and profound, BEFORE WE VANISH reminds audiences of the continued strength of one of Japanese cinema's most unique auteurs – and the value of the human spirit. INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR KIYOSHI KUROSAWA (Translated from Japanese) WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TURN “BEFORE WE VANISH”, A WELL-KNOWN THEATRE PLAY IN JAPAN, INTO YOUR NEXT FILM?

Au festival Entrevues, dédié au jeune cinéma d’auteur avec des compétitions internationales, mais aussi à l’histoire et au patrimoine cinéma- tographique, on est emporté dans un voyage dans le temps et dans les géographies imaginaires des cinéastes du monde entier. En cette année du Centenaire de la Première Guerre mondiale, le public prendra le temps de la réflexion distanciée sur cette période de l’histoire mondiale, à travers une sélection de films à l’intersection de l’art et de la discipline historique. Cette plongée dans notre passé offrira au public matière à revisiter, par des regards croisés entre la France, l’Italie, l’Allemagne, l’URSS et les Etats-Unis, notre mémoire collective.
