DIRECTOR KUROSAWA KIYOSHI AT YALE

March 23-25, 2006

The Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University is proud to 
present a series of events with the Japanese film director Kurosawa 
Kiyoshi in conjunction with the seventh Kinema Club conference. 
Kurosawa is one of Japan’s leading contemporary filmmakers, world 
renowned for his unique mix of art and genre cinema, especially in the 
fields of horror (Cure, Pulse, Séance) and yakuza film (the “Suit 
Yourself or Shoot Yourself” and “The Revenge” series).

Kurosawa will present two of his works: his newest film, the horror 
movie Loft, which has yet to be released in theaters, and The Serpent’s 
Path, a disturbing treatise on revenge and violence. He will also 
conduct two workshops on his work in relation to Japanese cinema.
