Three Films by Ryusuke Hamaguchi at the HFA

During the Spring 2017 semester, the Harvard Film Archive hosted a retrospective to celebrate the works and career of RIJS Visiting Fellow Ryusuke Hamaguchi, one of Japan's most talented young directors. The following three works were chosen to showcase the filmmaker's fascination with the performative and theatrical dimensions of cinema and everyday life.

This film series was co-presented with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies and accompanied by post-screening discussions with Director RYUSUKE HAMAGUCHI, in conversation with HADEN GUEST, Director of the Harvard Film Archive, and ALEXANDER ZAHLTEN, Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, and translated by KIMBERLEE SANDERS, graduate student.
