<p>Japan on Film 1901 to 1913</p>
Written by Richard Durrance on 20 Oct 2021
For those with an interest in Japan on film, Japanese history or silent cinema (or any mixture of the three) rejoice, for the series of short films presented at the London Film Festival, curated by the British Film Institute and The Kennington Bioscope is now available on youtube, with a soundtrack provided by KenBio regulars (and some of the best silent film pianists in the business).
Coinciding with the BFI’s Japan season, the film comprises a selection of films from 1901 to 1913, the programme takes us on a fascinating journey through Meiji Japan.
Long-time anime dilettante and general lover of cinema. Obsessive re-watcher of 'stuff'. Has issues with dubs. Will go off on tangents about other things that no one else cares about but is sadly passionate about. (Also, parentheses come as standard.) Looks curiously like Jo Shishido, hamster cheeks and all.
