Special film screening: Experimental films by Shuji Terayama

This program will screen 5 films directed by Terayama Shuji, one of the fabled leaders of the underground culture in 1960s and 70s Japan.
Born in Hirosaki City, Aomori, Terayama was a poet, filmmaker and playwright whose theatrical troupe, Tenjo Sajiki, produced some of the most experimental works of the period. Terayama renounced the conventions and rules of film-making. His avant-garde films are blanketed with extraordinary images which stir our innermost emotions and desires.
