This episode is dedicated to the unique cinematic culture of Kyoto Prefecture -- the birthplace of Japanese motion pictures, and the cradle of samurai films. We look at the latest in ninja action cinema with "BLACKFOX: Age of the Ninja," and take a peek behind the scenes on set at Toei's Uzumasa studios. Taking place at the same studios, along with those of Shochiku, was this winter's edition of the Kyoto Filmmakers Lab where young filmmakers from across the globe gathered to collaborate in producing short period films. Finally we explore the fascinating world of contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama in "Kusama: Infinity," a documentary looking back on her prolific career and personal life, which garnered much attention when it was screened as a special invitation during the Kyoto International Film and Art Festival.
