WWU's Cinema East Film Series presents 'The Films of Tankaka Kinuyo' throughout March
The Cinema East film series, a collaboration between Western Washington University Libraries and the Pickford Film Center, presents The Films of Tankaka Kinuyo, featuring the films of one of the most famous and revered actresses in the history of Japanese film. This series is co-presented with CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival and coincides with Women’s History Month.
Tanaka Kinuyo directed six films during the 1950s and early 1960s, becoming only the second woman to direct films in Japan. She is also the first woman director whose work survives to this day, although the films were not available in any format and had never been screened in North America until last year, when Janus Films released newly restored versions. Beginning in March 2023, Pickford Film Center will screen all six films, along with a film that Tanaka stars in from that same period, Ozu Yasujiro’s Equinox Flower.
