Live Benshi Performance

Please join us for a rare and exciting evening with a Japanese benshi ("movie talker") by by Kataoka Ichiro. During Japan's silent film era, benshi artists regularly thrilled audiences with their dramatic and engaging narratives that accompanied film screenings.

To bring this event to BYU, the International Cinema program partnered with the Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities at UCLA to organize a benshi tour that starts right here on campus.

Our Evening with a Benshi will feature one feature film —the cult favorite A Page of Madness (Kurutta ichipeiji, 1926)— and two short films, Liberty (Leo McCarey, 1929), and the rare Japanese animated film, Chongire hebi (Chopped Snake) (Kouchi Junichi, 1930).

FOLLOWED BY A SCREENING OF
A Page of Madness
(Teinosuke Kinugasa, 1926, 70 min.)

Snipped Snake
(Chiho Maekawa, 1932, 4min.)
