Japanese Screen Classics: In Honor of Madame Kawakita
July 30 – August 14, 2008

From the mid-1930s until her death in 1993, Madame Kashiko Kawakita, along with her husband Nagamasa Kawakita (1903-1981), was the ambassador of Japanese cinema to the world. The annual award she established has celebrated a veritable roll call of Japan’s greatest film artists.

We honor the memory of one of the true angels of international cinema with this collection of 24 films by eight remarkable Japanese filmmakers who have received the prestigious Kawakita Award.
