Stars of Orion: Japanese Martyrs for Palestine Stars of Orion: Japanese Martyrs for Palestine (2012) Character: N/A
This is a documentary produced for Al Jazeera Documentary by May Shigenobu. May revisits the Japanese leftist activism in the 60s and the 70s, to understand why some Japanese students decided to dedicate their lives to the Palestinian cause by talking to the then leaders and visiting iconic locations of the time. It includes exclusive interviews with some leaders in the students' movements in Japan, Adachi Masao, as well as PFLP leaders such as Layla Khaled and Abu Ahmed Fouad. The documentary also talks about the Japanese Red Army members and their families living underground.
L'anabase de May et Fusako Shigenobu, Masao Adachi et 27 années sans images L'anabase de May et Fusako Shigenobu, Masao Adachi et 27 années sans images (2011) Character: Herself
A film on exile, revolution, landscapes and memory, Anabasis brings forth the remarkable parallel stories of Adachi and May, one a filmmaker who gave up images, the other a young woman whose identity-less existence forbade keeping images of her own life. Fittingly returning the image to their lives, director Eric Baudelaire places Adachi and May’s revelatory voiceover reminiscences against warm, fragile Super-8mm footage of their split milieus, Tokyo and Beirut. Grounding their wide-ranging reflections in a solid yet complex reality, Anabasis provides a richly rewarding look at a fascinating, now nearly forgotten era (in politics and cinema), reminding us of film’s own ability to portray—and influence—its landscape.
