The Japanese Film Festival 2024 proudly presents this FREE series of works by filmmaker Shоhei Imamura (1926 – 2006), a socially engaged auteur whose mission was to portray a true, unpolished image of Japan beyond the veil of conventional stereotypes and the post-war national agenda.

From engrossing thrillers to dark comedies, award-winning dramas and social satires, this expansive retrospective showcases a selection of Imamura’s thematically provocative and technically innovative films, spanning three decades of his illustrious career.

From 9 October – 10 November, 2024 the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney will screen Imamura’s films:

• Hogs and Warships 16 Oct (Wed), 2pm & 7:15pm
