year at the 7th Japanese Film Festival in Sydney, audiences will
be treated to special screenings of films by veteran Japanese director, Kaneto
Shindo. Aged 91, Kaneto Shindo is regarded as an icon of the Japanese film
industry. Shindo’s latest film, The
Owl (2003), will be shown along with The
Island (1960), which won the Grand Prix at the Moscow International
Film Festival in 1961.
 At
this year’s film festival, Kaneto Shindo will be represented by his son
Jiro Shindo, producer of his father’s film
The Owl, and President of Kindai Eiga Co. (an independent Japanese film production
company), and his granddaughter, Kaze Shindo, a budding
film director who won the Best New Director Prize at the Berlin International
Film Festival in 2001 for her film Love/Juice,
which will also be shown at this year’s film festival.
 Each
session will include a video introduction by Kaneto Shindo
and a live presentation by Jiro and Kaze
Shindo. Also included in this year’s program is a seminar on “The
perspectives of Independent Film Makers in Japan and the Independent Film Industry
in Australia”.
The seminar will be held at Dendy Opera Quay and speakers
include Australian film makers, as well as Jiro Shindo & Kaze Shindo.
