Ozu(2023)

Ozu is a six-part series that reimagines the silent films of legendary Japanese director Ozu Yasujiro for modern audiences. Created to mark the 120th anniversary of his birth, six emerging filmmakers each adapted one of his early works, translating Ozu's distinctive visual style and narrative sensibility into contemporary settings. The project honors the master director's influence on cinema while allowing new voices to interpret his themes of family, everyday life, and human connection through a fresh lens. Together, these mini-episodes form a tribute that bridges classical Japanese cinema with today's filmmaking, offering both longtime admirers and new viewers a chance to experience Ozu's enduring artistic legacy.
