| 2013-06-17 | | | YIDFF 2013 Preliminary Event in Yamagata: Ogawa Shinsuke Retrospective—“Harvesting Yamagata” |
Why has a documentary film festival been held in Yamagata?—About 40 years ago, legendary documentarist Ogawa Shinsuke and his production moved to Magino village, Kaminoyama in Yamagata. They started a farming life and created late masterpieces such as A Japanese Village—Furuyashikimura and Magino Village—A Tale. Ogawa’s presence in Magino also inspired Yamagata citizens to hold an international documentary film festival by themselves in this rural city. His love for ordinary people struggling in daily lives has still been the core principle of YIDFF, while Ogawa pro works have so far influenced many ambitious documentarists in and outside Japan.
As a preliminary event for upcoming YIDFF 2013, we’ll hold a special screening event featuring Ogawa works, especially focusing on their Yamagata films from 1970s.
