The San Sebastian Film Festival, which will celebrate its seventy-first edition between September 22 and 30, will dedicate a retrospective cycle to the Japanese filmmaker Hiroshi Teshigahara.
Teshigahara was, as defined by the cinephile meeting in a press release, “a fundamental author of Japanese cinema of the 1960s thanks to a series of experimental poetic films and his long collaboration with the writer Kobo Abe”.
His first short film, Hokusai, is from 1953 and his first feature film, Otoshi-ana / The Trap [La trampa]from 1962.
His film “Suna no onna” (1964, translated as La mujer de la arena) won the jury prize at the Cannes festival and was nominated for the Oscars for best director and best foreign film.
In addition to being a filmmaker, Teshigahara was a master of the Japanese art of flower arrangement (ikebana). From 1980 until his death, he directed the Ikebana Sogetsu school, which had been founded by his father, and published the book The Art of Ikebana (1997).
The cycle will be complemented by the publication of the book Crónicas de vanguardia by Inuhiko Yomota. Conversations with Hiroshi Teshigahara, translated from Japanese by Daniel Aguilar.
Next year, Italian crime films
On the other hand, the San Sebastian Festival will dedicate its 2024 retrospective to the so-called poliziesco, Italian crime films.
