Shibuya culture PROJECT

Celebration of voluntary film which continues from 1977"Pia Film Festival (PFF)"This year marks the 30th time. PFF is a film festival that excavates PFF (PFF Director Araki) who is the subject of "Pia", "It is completely unknown now but maybe a person who might be an amazing masters in the future, I do not know anything at all". To the winners, feature film production aid system which produces total from PFF production to the theatrical release is also available, and it is the most famous Independent Film Festival in Japan now as a gateway to the Japanese film world. Up to now, 16,386 entries have been submitted, 475 pieces of "new talents" have been introduced. For this time, I would like to pursue what kind of transition has been made in the talent found by such PFF, focusing on the works now open in Shibuya.

In 1989 Ryosuke Hashiguchi, who won the PFF Grand Prix & Best Actress Award in 1989, Ryosuke Hashiguchi got the PFF scholarship and released the first directorial work "Fever of 20 years old" in 1993. "Fever of twenty years old" is a work on the theme of "gay" that had not been dealt with in the Japanese film world until then. In accordance with disclosure, Hashiguchi also announced that he was "gay". "Fierce fever of twenty years old" who recorded an exceptional hit with an unnamed actor, director at a low budget, was followed by "Nagisa's Sindbad" (1995) "Hash! Together with (2001) "Gay trilogy work", it is a ryosaki to convey seriously the troubles and pleasures of "gay" that images tend to precede seriously. CurrentCinema RisePublished in at the"Around the corner. ", The relationship between men and women changes as a whole, but what they have in common is descriptive power that carefully accumulates everyday things such as a misunderstanding and touching of a modest feeling of a person. Director Hashiguchi said that he overcame his troubles with "taking a movie". "Around the corner. In "Hashiguchi himself also experienced a woman with" depression "appeared, around the husband who is a court painter, the appearance of a fictitious trial of a number of actual cases was drawn. Because it is an era of chaos, it is a refreshing challenge that tells us that everyday life in a familiar couple is a treasure that is not tolerable.

In 1997, Director Takeshi Furusawa, who received the PFF Screenplay Award in "home sweet movie", won the production assistant at the work "Director of the Great Barra Illusion" (1999) and "Circuit" (2000) by Kiyoshi Kurosawa after receiving the award One of the few directors who served as a co-script at Director Kurosawa's "Doppelganger" (2002), but who was originally from Pia but directed another film director. Director Furusawa 's first commercial featured directorial work, learned under the great horse movie Kurosawaqing' s great horse movie, disappears one after another who has picked up the lost item one after another"Ghost Train"(2006). It became a hot topic with Sawajiri Erica starring. Well, the latest work of Director Furusawa, from August 2,Theater N ShibuyaTo be released at"Twilight Syndrome Dead Cruise". This time we set up a ship on the sea and draw an absurd world that "a different death comes every time resetting". What "fear" can be in the world where "death" is no longer the end point? I would like to pay attention to the mechanism that Director Furusawa prepared.

Besides, director Tanada Yuki who won the Grand Prix of 2001 in "Mol", from July 19thShinesezon ShibuyaAt"One Million Yen Girl"publish. Director Tanada Yuki freely handles a variety of projects from the documentary 'Takada watarari' (2003) of Takada Wataru to the R 15 designated work 'Moon and Cherry' (2004), which took a picture of women's love and Eros. In the latest work, Japan Treasure Treasure - Aoi Yu plays "a somber heroine". Director Tanada says that he will write a script in a "creed that does not tell a lie at the fundamentals", but discover what kind of "Tanada" is lurking in a group of works where seemingly common points are not found It is also fun. In 2002 "WEEKEND BLUES" won the planning prize, at the 14th PFF Scholarship"People who are not destined"The latest work of Kenji Uchida who supervised,"after-school". This work, which was more polished by a precise screenplay ability, which manipulated the time axis freely with "a person who is not destined", started screening from the second half of May and recorded a long run.

Director: Tetsuya Nakajima, "Googoo is a cat" Director: Ikko Inui, "Homeless junior high school student" Director: Tomoyuki Furuyuki and new releases of Pia Director are being refrained one after another, 1 It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not a day to see PFF related works in a year. "PFF" which celebrated its 30th anniversary and has finally increased its presence. At the festival, there is also an "audience award" that anyone can participate in the vote from 15 winning works. Two more days until the award ceremony on 25th. Would you like to have one vote? It is as mentioned above that it becomes an important "one vote" for the future of the Japanese film industry.
