https://youtu.be/RR_FCGz7BbUFounded in 1977, PIA Film Festival is one of the oldest and most vital film festivals in Japan, responsible for launching the careers of many well-known Japanese directors we know today, such as SONO Sion, KUROSAWA Kiyoshi, KAWASE Naomi, and OGIGAMI Naoko. Despite their importance, the festival remains fairly obscure to many cinephiles. Hence we decided to spotlight the festival by curating a series of the most interesting and recent films from PIA Film Festival.--Anatomy of a Paper Clip | 山守クリップ工場の辺り2013 | 99 min | Drama| Japanese with English subtitles | M18 - Sexual ScenesGawkish Kogure (TOMOMATSU Sakae) passively allows himself to be cursed by the boss of the paperclip factory where he works as a paperclip bender. Without protest, he lets his clothes be stolen by fairly clumsy thieves. Kogure does not put up a fight about anything. One day, he finds a butterfly in his small flat and he allows the insect to fly to freedom. Another day he finds a trespassing woman speaking strangely (a gibberish invented by the makers) in his flat. He lets her stay, just like her father who turns up. In Kogure's imagination, the woman is a transformation of the butterfly and he allows a series of things to happen because of it.Directed By: IKEDA Akira Starring: TOMOMATSU Sakae, KATO Kazutoshi, SHIBA Hirofumi, SHU OnoScreening DetailsDate: 15 October, FridayTime: 8pmLocation: Oldham TheatreIn-cinema post-screening virtual Q&A with Director--Q&A with DirectorIKEDA AkiraDirector of “Anatomy of a Paper Clip”IKEDA Akira was born in 1976 in Tokyo and graduated from Bunkyo University Faculty of Language and Literature Department of English Language and Literature.
