This program reunites two luminaries of Japanese underground cinema, Obayashi and Takabayashi, who with Takahiko Iimura set up the collective “Group of Three” and screened films together. Their innovative experimental 8mm movies were harbingers of their subsequent feature work. Iimura is the subject of his own program on January 12 and 13.
