The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York
The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Film and Media honors Japanese director Kon Ichikawa (b. 1915) with his first major North American retrospective in more than three decades. Organized by the Cinematheque Ontario in association with The Japan Foundation, this twenty-six film series features newly struck 35mm prints of the director's masterworks-from Harp of Burma (1956) to The Makioka Sisters (1983)-as well as lesser-known gems like Punishment Room (1956) and Bonchi (1960).

Also presented
is the New York premiere of Ichikawa's latest film,
Dora-Heita (2000); the full-length version of his
controversial documentary Tokyo Olympiad (1965); and
his rarely seen postwar trilogy of black comedies:
Pu-San (1953), A Billionaire (1954), and A Full-Up
Train (1957). On October 1, former MoMA curator Donald
Richie, the preeminent authority on Japanese cinema,
makes a special appearance in New York to introduce
Ten Dark Women (1961), one of the many revelations
in the series.
