Opening Night
UK Premiere: The Written Face + Introduction
A fantastical exploration of performance, The Written Face drifts through the twilight between reality and dreams, drawing out the artistic philosophies of kabuki star Bando Tamasaburo V and other legends like Kazuo Ohno, captured with Daniel Schmid’s singular aesthetic vision.
Daniel Schmid on The Written Face (translated from the brochure published in Japan at the film’s original release in 1995)
“This film is not a documentary. It is fiction. I am trying to create a story about twilight, in other words, a film about film. I have witnessed the miracle that is Bando Tamasaburo many times. Yet I do not wish to unravel that mystery, that secret. This work is a film made with the secret that is Bando Tamasaburo, a film made with the secret that is Japan.”
The UK premiere of The Written Face screens as part of In the Realm of Acting: Performance On and Off Screen, presented in a new 4K restoration in collaboration with Cinémathèque suisse.
