Presented by the Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong and The Japan Foundation, co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Centre and supported by Japan Autumn Festival in Hong Kong - Rediscovering Nippon, moving image programme “The Treasure Box of Love and Death: Obayashi Nobuhiko Film Showcase” takes place from 12 to 20 December 2020.

Japanese director Obayashi Nobuhiko, who passed away in April this year, left behind a large number of works with diverse themes in different fields, from experimental films to TV commercials and mainstream features. The Treasure Box of Love and Death: Obayashi Nobuhiko Film Showcase commemorates this magical film artist, screening six selected features by Obayashi from the collection of the Foundation, including four rarely seen works from the 1980s, from which audiences can observe various motifs found in Obayashi’s films: home, playfulness, pacifism and the tragedy of love.

Veteran film critic Cheng Chuen-wai will attend after-screening talk of The Young and Wild to share his insights on the works of Obayashi. The talk is conducted in Cantonese only.
