New Perspectives in Japanese Cinema
Giloo紀實影音
Echoing the Golden Horse Film Festival’s “Selection of Japanese Mid-Career Directors,” Giloo continues its long-standing commitment to Asian auteur cinema with this curated program, New Perspectives in Japanese Cinema. The selection focuses on a new generation of filmmakers who have recently emerged on the international stage and are steadily establishing their creative positions, while also seeking to expand and supplement existing perspectives on contemporary Japanese cinema. From the Okuyama brothers—Hiroshi Okuyama and Yoshiyuki Okuyama—whose delicate visual language captures the subtle flow of human emotions, to Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who reshapes everyday narratives through long takes and dialogue; from Shiori Ito, who confronts social structures and gender issues head-on, to Sho Miyake, who persistently portrays urban margins and the conditions of youth; and additionally, Yusuke Morii, selected for this program for his distinctive narrative approach to the fragmented realities of contemporary Japanese life—these filmmakers not only demonstrate strong auteur sensibilities but collectively respond to the social realities of present-day Japan.
