Focus on Samurai Films

Kyoto is where Japanese cinema originated, and the tradition of samurai films continues today in the country's old capital. This time on J-FLICKS, we introduce Love's Twisting Path, the latest release by 84-year old Sadao Nakajima, whose career making samurai films spans over 50 years. We then look at some of the Japanese swords featured in the film along with the craftspeople who make them and other props as we visit the art department of Toei Studios Kyoto. Also taking place at the studios, together with Shochiku Kyoto Studio, was a workshop called the Kyoto Filmmakers Lab where budding young film creators from across the globe gathered to collaborate in producing short period pieces.
