Two opportunities to make and see movies in Lexington
NoC News
The “Japanese Films of the 1960s” series is nearing its close, but you still have the opportunity to see two more fantastic films at The Kentucky Theatre! This is the 6th year that the University of Kentucky Asia Center and the Japanese Studies Program have showcased Japanese films.
This year’s series features five renowned directors working in very different genres. From science fiction to melodrama, from horror to action–there is something for everyone! The final two films slated to screen at The Kentucky are Okamoto Kihachi’s Age of Assassins on Thursday, November 11, and Kudo Eiichi’s The Fort of Death on Thursday, November 18. Both films screen at 9:30 P.M. and are free and open to the public.
The series will conclude with a lecture and discussion of all five films in the 212 White Hall Classroom Building at 12:30 P.M. on November 23. The discussion will be led by UK Japan Studies faculty member Masamichi Inoue. This event is also free and open to the public.
