Kinuyo Tanaka
> 19.05
Kinuyo Tanaka (1909-1977) was one of the few women filmmakers in post-war Japan. In all, she made six feature films for different studios. Thanks to their recent restoration, these six works are finally being released in the West. These magnificent melodramas are a real discovery for Japanese film enthusiasts and feature unforgettable portraits of women. A unique voice in the storied history of Japanese cinema!

Jacques Ledoux
“Jacques Ledoux has been memorialized in a lovely multilingual book that gathers reminiscences by Ledoux’s colleagues. There are memoirs by Noël Desmet, Clementine Deblieck, Jean-Paul Dorchain, Hilde Delabie, and Gabrielle Claes, Ledoux’s successor as director. Bernard Eisenschitz, Eric De Kuyper, and P. Adams Sitney offer illuminating appreciations of Ledoux’s contributions. (Sitney’s very full account of Knokke doings is a crucial document in the history of the American avant-garde.) Ledoux’s own voice is represented by a program note for a 1968 science-fiction series. There are many wonderful illustrations–photos, posters, correspondence (Cocteau, Lenica, Akerman).”
