From November 21 - December 5, we are delighted to present I have no memory of my direction (2005), a feature-length work from Japanese-Canadian filmmaker Midi Onodera, along with a series of shorts. At once narrative, essay film and experimental travelogue, this work explores the layered relationship of the artist to her grandmother’s birthplace of Japan.

This October, we present our third program in the ongoing series, Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s-1970s - a selection of early works by the artist Keiji Uematsu, made during his period of residence in Düsseldorf, West Germany. The screening is accompanied by a partial translation of a 2016 interview with the artist conducted by the Japanese Oral Art History Archive.

CCJ presents the work of filmmakers Eri Saito and Masanobu Nakamura as part of our Meander Program.
