Following our U.S. premiere run of his 2019 feature, VIDEOPHOBIA, earlier this year, Spectacle Theater is thrilled to welcome back Daisuke Miyazaki for a retrospective of his work.
After graduating from Waseda University, Miyazaki participated in a New York University film program in Japan where his thesis film, THE 10TH ROOM, won the program’s Grand Prix prize. Miyazaki went on to work as a production designer and assistant director with filmmakers such as Leos Carax and Kiyoshi Kurosawa, before making his feature directorial debut in 2011 with END OF THE NIGHT.
Over the course of the past decade, Miyazaki has developed one of Japan’s most inventive and fearless independent filmmakers. In 2013, he was selected for Berlinale Talents, the Berlin Film Festival’s talent development and networking platform, resulting in the anthology feature film, 5 TO 9, which premiered at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in 2015. Miyazaki’s subsequent work has been screened at film festivals around the world, with his features, YAMATO (CALIFORNIA) and TOURISM, receiving rave reviews from the likes of the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and the New York Times.
Join us on Saturday, July 29th for back-to-back screenings of YAMATO (CALIFORNIA) and TOURISM, followed by Q&As with the filmmaker after each. Regular screenings of both will continue throughout the month of August, along with a collection of Miyazaki’s recent short film works.
