The Morning Schedule (Gozenchu no jikanwari) introduction and post-screening discussion with Haden Guest and Susumu Hani. Read transcript

Continuing his favorite theme of lost childhood, Hani created faux home movies – some shot by his own actors – for this affecting, jarring meditation on nostalgia and friendship inspired by the suicide of a young teenager and the reunion of two friends to remember the dead. Hani's sympathy for the troubles of adolescence is matched by his ability to capture the fascinating world of postwar Japanese youth culture.
