Hiroki Nakayama

Un policier violent est aux prises à la fois avec sa hiérarchie et un gang dirigé par le truand Kiyohiro. Kitano réalise ce premier film où il devait seulement tenir le premier rôle, par hasard. A la suite de la défection du metteur en scene, il accepte de mettre en scène "Violent Cop" en remaniant considérablement le scénario. D'une histoire policière classique, il ne garde que la trame et concentre son attention sur le personnage principal qu'il incarne: un antihéros solitaire et à contre-courant.

A very special event that took place immediately following the 2009 Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in Furuyashiki Village. They held a ‘dojo,’ a school where the veteran independent filmmakers from Japan taught the younger generation of independent filmmakers from China and Japan. They watched films, shot and hand-developed Super-8 films. Participants: Azuma Mieko, Cong Feng, Huang Weikai, Ji Dan, Kawabe Ryota, Mao Chenyu, Sato Leo, and others... The participants formed teams. Each received a camera, several rolls of film, and a CD with (mostly urban) sounds to use as a soundtrack. They were to plan and shoot a short film using in-camera editing. (total 4 short films).
