MARCEL WEHN
Born in Karlsruhe in 1977. After working as a trainee graphic designer and advertising copy writer as well as on various film productions in Berlin and Hanover, he took up studies in documentary filmmaking at Baden-Württemberg Film Academy. One Who Set Forth is his graduation film. CARTE BLANCHE TO WIM WENDERS - THE 2008 HUMANITY PRIZE Wim Wenders has been given carte blanche by the 2008 São Paulo International Film Festival to program whatever he will. He has been one of the authors most in evidence over the course of Mostra editions and of our history as film lovers. Always courageous in manifesting his disquiet in face of a world with misleading signs of modernity, Wenders manifests his non-conformity with disturbing sagacity, presence of mind, innovation, and a ceaseless quest for innovating formulas of expression. Changeable and sufficiently daring, he has never concealed his fascination for American popular culture and the icons that people our imagination - outright fascination with criticism, not dazzle, that imbues us with courage and frees us from the guilt of stagnation - an invitation to travel and to a second reading: fascination that fills our eyes and mind with poetry and musicality, nostalgia and modernity, looking back into the past and into the future with the certainty of one crying out for changes in the present. Wenders made good use of fame that grew rapidly as emerging talent in a Germany paranoic about its own future. Even as an exponent of the New German Cinema movement, he made his way to the United States to pay tribute to several of his idols - one to actor and director Dennis Hopper, with The American Friend (Der Amerikanische Freund, 1977), another to directors Nicholas Ray and Samuel Fuller, all three acting in the same film. He re-invented his modernity with a neo-noir film and, at the same time, aroused our admiration for novelist Patricia Highsmith and her inspired character Tom Ripley. He also paid tribute, indirectly, to Alfred Hitchcock who adapted the novel to cinema in Strangers on a Train (1950). Wim Wenders’ sincerity is stimulating. His American pilgrimage was astonishing. His films involved spectators with characters and plots able to take the martyrdom of a film lover to the final consequences - a return to Nicholas Ray, the mythical director of Johnny Guitar (1954) and Rebel Without a Cause (1955). With him, Wenders filmed Lightning Over Water (1980) to record his slow, real death. Wim Wenders’ inventiveness afforded us exciting escapes, even when they triggered conflict with icons admired in common. Such was the case of the fascinating tribute to Dashiel Hammett, author of police novels, the soul of film noir, at a very high cost. Hammett, of 1982, was also filmed in the United States and generated conflicts with the producer we so admired as a film maker - Francis Ford Coppola. Between agitated filming and interruptions, he went back to Europe to film The State of Things, in 1982. He would never have imagined, but this film became the symbol of resistance against the Brazilian military dictatorship, after winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Festival. On October 20, 1984, with over one thousand people in a sold-out session of The State of Things at Cine Metrópole, a movie theater that has, unfortunately disappeared, the agents of the Federal Police arrived with orders to close down the 8th São Paulo International Film Festival. In The State of Things, a filming team is in Portugal inspired on Wenders’ own autobiography with the difficulties of a film maker to make a film without being able to shake off the opression from the producer. It all began one month before the 8th Mostra opened, when we challenged the government in its last year of dictatorship. By sueing the Federal Government, we would win the case in court so that, for the first time in eight years of existence, we would hold a festival without subjecting the selection of films to prior government censorship. Mostra was reacting to all the years of humiliation. One week later, the federal government was to annul the temporary restraining order and, to everyone’s astonishment, close down Mostra. And precisely when The State of Things was being shown... With my voice shaken and tears in my eyes, I read the court decision to an astonished audience - prohibiting a São Paulo International Film Festival free of censorship. Meanwhile, in the throes of creativity, Wim Wenders recovered from the impact of the previous American film and was awarded the Golden Palm in Cannes, 1984 for Paris, Texas - impeccably modern, with a script by Sam Shepard on finding and losing, with actors Harry Dean Stanton and Natassja Kinski and music by Ry Cooder. Wenders, admirable film maker and film lover that he was, next took us to Japan with a diary documentary Tokyo-Ga in the form of a pilgrimage and reverence to the great master, Yasujiro Ozu. It was Wenders who, in 1985, opened the eyes of new generations to the cinema of the great Japanese master. In Wim Wenders’ films we could observe his capacity for divesting, invariably making himself seem much smaller in comparison to the icons of one’s cultural background. With him, we learned about the great driving force of humility. In the film, covering Japanese scenarios and rituals as bizarre as they are fascinating, Wenders behaves with the discipline of a pupil and highlights how very Japanese and universal the inestimable cinematographic heritage of Ozu really is. Admiration for Wim Wenders grew with each revelation and each new surprise in his films. The most thrilling of all the films at this stage was, most certainly, his demolishing of the Berlin Wall ahead of time, with Wings of Desire (1987). Chaste angels dare ignore the existence of the abominable wall and fly back and forth over the frontiers, to find the souls they are to guard. Wings of Desire was, deservedly, awarded the Prize from the Public at the 12th Mostra in 1987 and was immediately inserted in the collection of his films that are forever adored. Unforgettable, also, is the fact the angels could see only in black and white. They only saw in color when they became mortals having committed the ‘sin’ of falling in love with live beings. Remarkable also is Wim Wenders’ equally surprising talent and generosity in lending prestige to musical talents to aggregate values to his films. “My life was saved by Rock’n Roll. Because it was this kind of music that, for the very first time in my life, gave me a feeling of identity, the feeling that I had a right to enjoy, to imagine, and to do something”, says Wenders in his official site www.wim-wenders.com. The listing of musicians invited to his films is considerable - Ry Cooder, Daniel Lanois, Willie Nelson, U2, Bono, Nick Cave, BAP, Wolfgang Niedecken, Ronnee Blakley, and Lou Reed, in addition to achieving a world feat by redeeming talent in groups such as the Buena Vista Social Club, of 1998. With this musical documentary, Wenders brought added life to a group of very talented Cuban musicians. Or, as when he focused on the story of three impressive bluesmen - Blind Willie Johnson (1902-1947), Skip James (1902-1969), and J. B. Lenoir (1929-1967) in The Soul of a Man (2003), his feature within the blues series and that, again, was awarded the Prize from the Public at the 27th Mostra. Wim Wenders justifies his choice of the three bluesmen because, in them, he identified characteristics in common: “They were ahead of their time, they wrote their own music, they were complete singers and instrumentalists, and they died unknown and forgotten”. For this film Wim Wenders was awarded the Humanity Prize at the 32nd São Paulo International Film Festival. With his gesture and with his films, he enriched the listing of those formerly indicated to the Mostra Humanity Prize, namely Manoel de Oliveira, Eduardo Coutinho, and Amos Gitai. To all, attention to the films chosen by Wim Wenders with carte blanche. Mostra can finally see its guardian angel in color. Leon Cakoff

MARIANO BARROSO
que nos enche de coragem, nos livra da culpa da estagnação e convoca a viagens e releituras. E nos enche os olhos e a mente com poesia e musicalidade, nostalgia e modernidade, olhando para o passado e para o futuro com a certeza de quem conclama mudanças no presente. Aproveita a fama rapidamente criada como talento emergente numa Alemanha paranóica com o seu próprio futuro, mesmo como expoente do movimento Novo Cinema Alemão, parte para os Estados Unidos a fim de render uma série de homenagens a vários de seus ídolos. Uma ao ator e diretor Dennis Hopper, com O Amigo Americano (Der Amerikanische Freund, 1977), outra aos diretores Nicholas Ray e Samuel Fuller, os três atuando nesse mesmo filme. Reinventa a sua modernidade com um filme neo-noir e envolve-nos ao mesmo tempo com a admiração pela novelista Patricia Highsmith, seu inspirado personagem Tom Ripley, e ainda presta homenagem indireta a Alfred Hitchcock que a adaptou no cinema com Pacto Sinistro (Strangers on a Train, 1950). A sinceridade de Wim Wenders é estimulante. A sua peregrinação americana prossegue surpreendendo. Os seus filmes envolvem espectadores com personagens e roteiros que são capazes de levar o martírio de um cinéfilo às últimas conseqüências. Retorno a Nicholas Ray, o mítico diretor de Johnny Guitar (1954) e Juventude Transviada (Rebel Without a Cause, 1955) e roda com ele O Filme de Nick (Lightning Over Water, 1980), para registrar a sua morte lenta e real. A inventividade de Wim Wenders permitia-nos escapes excitantes, mesmo provocando conflitos com ícones admirados em comum. Foi o caso na fascinante homenagem ao escritor de novelas policiais Dashiel Hammett, a alma do film noir, a um custo caríssimo. Hammett, de 1982, também foi rodado nos Estados Unidos e gerou conflitos com o produtor que tanto admiramos como cineasta - Francis Ford Coppola. Entre as tumultuadas filmagens e interrupções, volta à Europa para rodar O Estado das Coisas (The State of Things), em 1982. Sem que pudesse imaginar, esse filme se tornaria um símbolo de resistência contra a ditadura militar brasileira, depois de ganhar o Leão de Ouro no Festival de Veneza. No dia 20 de outubro de 1984, com mais de mil pessoas lotando a sessão de O Estado das Coisas no Cine Metrópole, cinema infelizmente desaparecido, chegam os agentes da Polícia Federal com uma ordem para interromper a 8ª Mostra Internacional de Cinema. Em O Estado das Coisas, uma equipe de cinema está em Portugal motivada pela própria autobiografia de Wenders, com as dificuldades de um cineasta em realizar o seu filme sem conseguir se livrar da opressão do produtor. Tudo começou um mês antes da 8ª Mostra ser inaugurada, quando partimos ao desafio ao governo em seu último ano de ditadura, processar a União e obtendo vitória judicial para poder, pela primeira vez em oito anos de existência, fazer um festival sem submeter a seleção dos filmes à censura prévia. A Mostra reagia por todos esses anos de humilhação. Uma semana depois, o governo federal cassaria a liminar e interromperia a Mostra para o espanto de todo o mundo. E justamente no curso da projeção de O Estado das Coisas... Li com voz embargada e lágrima nos olhos, diante de uma platéia espantada, a decisão judicial de acabar com a Mostra livre censura. Enquanto isso, no auge da criação, Wim Wenders se refaria do impacto do filme americano anterior, ganhando a Palma de Ouro em Cannes de 1984 com Paris, Texas. Impecável modernidade com roteiro de Sam Shepard sobre buscas e perdições, interpretações de Harry Dean Stanton e Natassja Kinski e música de Ry Cooder. O admirável cineasta-cinéfilo leva-nos ao Japão pouco depois com o diário-documentário Tokyo-Ga, em forma de peregrinação e reverência ao grande mestre Yasujiro Ozu. Foi Wenders quem abriu em 1985 os olhos de novas gerações ao cinema do grande mestre japonês. Observamos na obra de Wim Wenders a sua capacidade de despojamento, sempre se fazendo parecer muito menor diante dos ícones de sua (nossa) formação cultural. Com ele aprendemos sobre o grande poder motriz da humildade. Ao percorrer cenários japoneses e seus rituais tão bizarros quanto fascinantes, Wenders comporta-se com a disciplina de um pupilo e faz notar o quanto japonês e universal é o inestimável legado cinematográfico de Ozu. A admiração por Wim Wenders foi crescendo a cada revelação e a cada surpresa de seus filmes. O mais emocionante de todos dessa fase foi certamente a sua antecipada demolição do Muro de Berlim com Asas do Desejo (Wings of Desire, 1987). Anjos singelos atrevem-se a ignorar a existência do abominável muro e a sobrevoam indiferentes às fronteiras, atrás das almas que devem guardar. Asas do Desejo foi, merecidamente, o Prêmio do Público da 12ª Mostra, em 1987, e inseriu-se imediatamente na galeria dos seus filmes para sempre cultuados. Inesquecíveis ainda os anjos enxergarem em preto e branco e só verem as cores ao virar mortais pelo ‘pecado’ de se apaixonar por seres vivos... É notável também o igualmente surpreendente talento e a generosidade de Wim Wenders em prestigiar talentos musicais para agregar valores em seus filmes. “Minha vida foi salva pelo Rock’n Roll. Porque foi esse tipo de música que, pela primeira vez na minha vida, me deu um sentimento de identidade, o sentimento de que eu tinha o direito de aproveitar, imaginar e fazer alguma coisa”, revela Wenders em seu sítio oficial www.wim-wenders.com. A galeria de músicos convidados para os seus filmes é imensa - Ry Cooder, Daniel Lanois, Willie Nelson, U2, Bono, Nick Cave, BAP, Wolfgang Niedecken, Ronnee Blakley e Lou Reed, além de conseguir o feito mundial de resgatar talentos em grupo como em Buena Vista Social Club, de 1998. Com esse documentário musical Wenders deu uma extraordinária sobrevida a um grupo extraordinariamente talentoso de músicos cubanos. Ou como fez ao resgatar a história de três bluesmen marcantes - Blind Willie Johnson (1902-1947), Skip James (1902-1969) e J.B. Lenoir (1929-1967), em A Alma de um Homem (The Soul of a Man, 2003), seu longa dentro da série Blues, e que novamente venceu o Prêmio do Público, na 27ª Mostra. Wim Wenders justifica a escolha dos três bluesmen por identificar neles características comuns: “estavam à frente de seu tempo, escreveram suas próprias músicas, eram cantores e instrumentistas completos e morreram desconhecidos e esquecidos”. Bastava isto para atribuir o Prêmio Humanidade da 32ª Mostra Internacional de Cinema a Wim Wenders. Ele enriquece com seus gestos e filmes a galeria dos indicados anteriores ao Prêmio Humanidade da Mostra, que foram Manoel de Oliveira, Eduardo Coutinho e Amos Gitai. E, portanto, atenção aos filmes escolhidos por Wim Wenders com carta branca. Finalmente a Mostra vê em cores o seu anjo da guarda. Leon Cakoff

Joris Ivens nasceu em 1898, em Nimege, na Holanda. Seu pai tinha uma loja de aparelhos fotográficos que, pouco a pouco, se transformou num importante entreposto das novidades da fotografia e do cinema, com o nome de Capi (iniciais do nome do pai de Joris: Cornélius, Adrian, Peter, Ivens). Graças a essa convivência, o jovem Joris estréia no cinema com a idade de 13 anos, dirigindo o seu primeiro curta "A Flecha Ardente", com toda família vestida de índio. Sua carreira de cineasta se intensificou com os movimentos de vanguarda nos anos 30 e logo se tornou o grande nome entre todos os documenteristas da história do cinema. Joris Ivens realizou mais de 60 filmes nos quatro cantos do mundo, registrando guerras, culturas e revoluções; a luta do homem contra a natureza, injustiças e belezas. O seu cinema é um legado para a humanidade. Ivens morreu em junho de 1989 deixando "História do Vento", co-dirigido com sua mulher Marceline Loridan, como último testamento. Este filme destacou-se na seleção da 13ª Mostra e volta na 15ª como parte da homenagem prestada a Joris Ivens, com a participação de Marceline Loridan.

MAURITZ STILLER
Born in Helsinki, in 1883 – the son of a musician from the Russian armada, of Jewish origin. From an early age, Mauritz Stiller learned how to sing, to play the violin, speak foreign languages, and to recite Shakespeare and Molière by heart. To get out of the military service in Finland, as yet under domination of the Czar, he ran away to Sweden, a country he adopted as his own. Passionately fond of theater, he began to work as an actor and was part of various groups before meeting future film maker Victor Sjöström, a master in Swedish film. Sjöström and Stiller acted together in numerous short films, some of them lost following the outbreak of fire at the Svenka Bio film producers. Some of his first films were The Black Masks, The Vampire, The Tyrannical Fiancée, The Child, all of these from 1912. His first important film was Love and Journalism (1916), a comedy on a young reporter who finds employment in the house of a polar explorer to get himself a scoop. These were followed by Thomas Graal’s Best Film (1917) and other comedies. In 1920, he made Seduction, a sensual adaptation of a play by Hungarian Ferenc Herczeg, whose extravagance and dandy features rendered him comparable to Ernest Lubistch. Victor Sjöström consolidated his reputation with dramatic adaptations based on Scandinavian literature, and Stiller, likewise, followed along the same path with detailed plots and complex personalities, and made Song of the Scarlet Flower (1919), adapted from the novel by Finnish author Johannes Linnankoski. From Selma Lagerlöf, one of Sjöström`s favorite authors, Stiller extracted The Treasure of Arne (1919), whose sumptuous scenes influenced Sergei Eisenstein in Ivan the Terrible (1942-1946). From the same author, he adapted Gunnar Hede’s Saga (1923) and The Atonement of Gösta Berling (1924), with a revelation, namely, actress Greta Gustafson at the age of 19, later known as Greta Garbo. With the success of the film and of the young actress, Stiller and Garbo were contracted to make The Odalisque from Smolny in Germany

MICHAEL MEREDITH
que nos enche de coragem, nos livra da culpa da estagnação e convoca a viagens e releituras. E nos enche os olhos e a mente com poesia e musicalidade, nostalgia e modernidade, olhando para o passado e para o futuro com a certeza de quem conclama mudanças no presente. Aproveita a fama rapidamente criada como talento emergente numa Alemanha paranóica com o seu próprio futuro, mesmo como expoente do movimento Novo Cinema Alemão, parte para os Estados Unidos a fim de render uma série de homenagens a vários de seus ídolos. Uma ao ator e diretor Dennis Hopper, com O Amigo Americano (Der Amerikanische Freund, 1977), outra aos diretores Nicholas Ray e Samuel Fuller, os três atuando nesse mesmo filme. Reinventa a sua modernidade com um filme neo-noir e envolve-nos ao mesmo tempo com a admiração pela novelista Patricia Highsmith, seu inspirado personagem Tom Ripley, e ainda presta homenagem indireta a Alfred Hitchcock que a adaptou no cinema com Pacto Sinistro (Strangers on a Train, 1950). A sinceridade de Wim Wenders é estimulante. A sua peregrinação americana prossegue surpreendendo. Os seus filmes envolvem espectadores com personagens e roteiros que são capazes de levar o martírio de um cinéfilo às últimas conseqüências. Retorno a Nicholas Ray, o mítico diretor de Johnny Guitar (1954) e Juventude Transviada (Rebel Without a Cause, 1955) e roda com ele O Filme de Nick (Lightning Over Water, 1980), para registrar a sua morte lenta e real. A inventividade de Wim Wenders permitia-nos escapes excitantes, mesmo provocando conflitos com ícones admirados em comum. Foi o caso na fascinante homenagem ao escritor de novelas policiais Dashiel Hammett, a alma do film noir, a um custo caríssimo. Hammett, de 1982, também foi rodado nos Estados Unidos e gerou conflitos com o produtor que tanto admiramos como cineasta - Francis Ford Coppola. Entre as tumultuadas filmagens e interrupções, volta à Europa para rodar O Estado das Coisas (The State of Things), em 1982. Sem que pudesse imaginar, esse filme se tornaria um símbolo de resistência contra a ditadura militar brasileira, depois de ganhar o Leão de Ouro no Festival de Veneza. No dia 20 de outubro de 1984, com mais de mil pessoas lotando a sessão de O Estado das Coisas no Cine Metrópole, cinema infelizmente desaparecido, chegam os agentes da Polícia Federal com uma ordem para interromper a 8ª Mostra Internacional de Cinema. Em O Estado das Coisas, uma equipe de cinema está em Portugal motivada pela própria autobiografia de Wenders, com as dificuldades de um cineasta em realizar o seu filme sem conseguir se livrar da opressão do produtor. Tudo começou um mês antes da 8ª Mostra ser inaugurada, quando partimos ao desafio ao governo em seu último ano de ditadura, processar a União e obtendo vitória judicial para poder, pela primeira vez em oito anos de existência, fazer um festival sem submeter a seleção dos filmes à censura prévia. A Mostra reagia por todos esses anos de humilhação. Uma semana depois, o governo federal cassaria a liminar e interromperia a Mostra para o espanto de todo o mundo. E justamente no curso da projeção de O Estado das Coisas... Li com voz embargada e lágrima nos olhos, diante de uma platéia espantada, a decisão judicial de acabar com a Mostra livre censura. Enquanto isso, no auge da criação, Wim Wenders se refaria do impacto do filme americano anterior, ganhando a Palma de Ouro em Cannes de 1984 com Paris, Texas. Impecável modernidade com roteiro de Sam Shepard sobre buscas e perdições, interpretações de Harry Dean Stanton e Natassja Kinski e música de Ry Cooder. O admirável cineasta-cinéfilo leva-nos ao Japão pouco depois com o diário-documentário Tokyo-Ga, em forma de peregrinação e reverência ao grande mestre Yasujiro Ozu. Foi Wenders quem abriu em 1985 os olhos de novas gerações ao cinema do grande mestre japonês. Observamos na obra de Wim Wenders a sua capacidade de despojamento, sempre se fazendo parecer muito menor diante dos ícones de sua (nossa) formação cultural. Com ele aprendemos sobre o grande poder motriz da humildade. Ao percorrer cenários japoneses e seus rituais tão bizarros quanto fascinantes, Wenders comporta-se com a disciplina de um pupilo e faz notar o quanto japonês e universal é o inestimável legado cinematográfico de Ozu. A admiração por Wim Wenders foi crescendo a cada revelação e a cada surpresa de seus filmes. O mais emocionante de todos dessa fase foi certamente a sua antecipada demolição do Muro de Berlim com Asas do Desejo (Wings of Desire, 1987). Anjos singelos atrevem-se a ignorar a existência do abominável muro e a sobrevoam indiferentes às fronteiras, atrás das almas que devem guardar. Asas do Desejo foi, merecidamente, o Prêmio do Público da 12ª Mostra, em 1987, e inseriu-se imediatamente na galeria dos seus filmes para sempre cultuados. Inesquecíveis ainda os anjos enxergarem em preto e branco e só verem as cores ao virar mortais pelo ‘pecado’ de se apaixonar por seres vivos... É notável também o igualmente surpreendente talento e a generosidade de Wim Wenders em prestigiar talentos musicais para agregar valores em seus filmes. “Minha vida foi salva pelo Rock’n Roll. Porque foi esse tipo de música que, pela primeira vez na minha vida, me deu um sentimento de identidade, o sentimento de que eu tinha o direito de aproveitar, imaginar e fazer alguma coisa”, revela Wenders em seu sítio oficial www.wim-wenders.com. A galeria de músicos convidados para os seus filmes é imensa - Ry Cooder, Daniel Lanois, Willie Nelson, U2, Bono, Nick Cave, BAP, Wolfgang Niedecken, Ronnee Blakley e Lou Reed, além de conseguir o feito mundial de resgatar talentos em grupo como em Buena Vista Social Club, de 1998. Com esse documentário musical Wenders deu uma extraordinária sobrevida a um grupo extraordinariamente talentoso de músicos cubanos. Ou como fez ao resgatar a história de três bluesmen marcantes - Blind Willie Johnson (1902-1947), Skip James (1902-1969) e J.B. Lenoir (1929-1967), em A Alma de um Homem (The Soul of a Man, 2003), seu longa dentro da série Blues, e que novamente venceu o Prêmio do Público, na 27ª Mostra. Wim Wenders justifica a escolha dos três bluesmen por identificar neles características comuns: “estavam à frente de seu tempo, escreveram suas próprias músicas, eram cantores e instrumentistas completos e morreram desconhecidos e esquecidos”. Bastava isto para atribuir o Prêmio Humanidade da 32ª Mostra Internacional de Cinema a Wim Wenders. Ele enriquece com seus gestos e filmes a galeria dos indicados anteriores ao Prêmio Humanidade da Mostra, que foram Manoel de Oliveira, Eduardo Coutinho e Amos Gitai. E, portanto, atenção aos filmes escolhidos por Wim Wenders com carta branca. Finalmente a Mostra vê em cores o seu anjo da guarda. Leon Cakoff

Nasceu em Paris, em 1957. É jornalista e produtor de TV, além de especialista na história de programas televisivos. Realizou diversas produções e especiais para o Canal +. Monstro sagrado e controverso do cinema, Godard é há 40 anos uma personalidade da mídia. Sua presença na TV nunca foi nem será medíocre, banal. Um dos fundadores da Nouvelle Vague nos anos 60, militante e criador nos anos 70 da Politique des Auteurs (na qual o diretor é o único autor na produção de um filme) e teórico da imagem nos anos 80 e 90, ele define a televisão como um mero happening. Isso porque, em sua opinião, "alguma coisa" sempre acontece na TV. Sua participação gera momentos inesquecíveis ou, em outras palavras, a subversão na rotina televisiva. Na opinião de Godard, a TV produz o esquecimento e o cinema, a memória.

MINORU SHIBUYA
MINORU SHIBUYA
A MASTER OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS IN POST-WAR JAPAN

Minoru Shibuya was born in Asakusa, Tokyo, on January 2nd, 1907. Relatively unknown outside Japan, his passion for cinema began during his English Literature studies at the University of Keio, in the Japanese capital. He began his cinematic career in 1929 as an unpaid assistant camera operator at the Japanese studio Shochiku, home to directors such as Yasujiro Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Keisuke Kinoshita and Yoji Yamada.

While at Shochiku, Shibuya went on to become assistant director to Mikio Naruse and Gosho Heinosuke, and eventually directed the majority of his 40 plus films between the ’30s and the ’60s. He directed box-office hits and carved out an important role for himself within a Japanese film industry that was not used to comedies. In 1943, he was called up for military service and was sent to the Chinese frontlines, only to return to Japan in April 1946, after the end of the Pacific War.

His more important films deal specifically with the post-World War II period, social dramas and comedies that find a balance between irony and disillusion. According to American film critic Chris Fujiwara, “his countless films about families always doubt the stability of family roles and relationships”. Shibuya’s films depict a Japan pervaded by essentially urban issues, strewn with themes such as the post-war inheritance, the ever-growing generational gap between tradition and modernity, the human relationships dictated by money and social climbing, alcoholism, and the Japanese acceptance of foreign customs.

From this period, highlights include Doctor’s Day Off (Honjitsu kyushin, 1952), an adaptation from the novel by Ibuse Masuji; Modern People (Gendaijin, 1952), which melds together social drama and political corruption; and Righteousness (Seigiha, 1957), based on the novel by Shiga Naoya.

From A Good Man, A Good Day (Kojin kojitsu, 1961) onwards, his careful visual style becomes evident in his visual compositions using GrandScope (the Japanese equivalent of CinemaScope), with films such as The Shrikes (Mozu, 1961) and Drunkard`s Paradise (Yopparai tengoku, 1962). His last film with the Shochiku studio was The Radish and the Carrot (Daikon to ninjin, 1964), a tribute to Ozu, to whom Shibuya used to be an assistant, based on notes from a script by the filmmaker that was left unfinished due to his death the year before. Shibuya, himself influenced by Ozu, became a great influence for future generations: his assistant directors became filmmakers in their own right, such as Shohei Imamura (The Ballad of Narayama, 1983; retrospective during the 21st São Paulo Film Festival, in 1997); and Yoji Yamada (Kyoto Story, 2010, 34th São Paulo Film Festival). Minoru Shibuya died of pneumonia in 1980, at the age of 73.

The 36th São Paulo Film Festival would like to thank the Tokyo FilmEX Festival for their assistance in obtaining copies of the films from the most important creative period of this great filmmaker.

MRINAL SEN
Nasceu em maio de 1923 em Bengal Oriental - atualmente Bangladesh - e lá viveu até 1940, quando foi para Calcuta para estudar física. Entretanto, interessou-se por gravações e estabeleceu contato com um estúdio de cinema, onde trabalhou como aprendiz por alguns meses, fazendo todo tipo de serviço não criativo até descobrir sua verdadeira vocação no cinema. Nesta época deixou o estúdio e passou o tempo lendo livros sobre a estética dos filmes e escrevendo sobre o tema. Financeiramente, sua condição beirava a pobreza total. Enquanto estudava, Sen aproximou-se do Partido Comunista da Índia (PCI) sem jamais tornar-se um membro oficial. Entre 1943 e 47, nas mais adversas condições políticas, sociais e econômicas do país, Sen foi atraído para um novo movimento cultural iniciado pelo PCI, popularmente conhecido como "Associação de Teatro da Índia Popular". Até 1950, Sen mudou várias vezes como revisor de textos, outras como sub-editor de um desconhecido ou pouco conhecido jornal, de vez em quando dando aulas particulares para jovens estudantes, e quase sempre escrevendo sobre filmes para a seção cultural do PCI. Por volta dessa época, traduziu para o bengali a novela tcheca póstuma "The Cheat", de Carel Capek, além de escrever um livro sobre a vida e a obra de Charles Chaplin.Em 1956, Sen conseguiu um patrocinador para seu primeiro filme que, em suas próprias palavras, `nunca deveria ter sido feito`. Em 1959, Sen rodou seu segundo filme, enfatizando o tema de que a luta indiana pela libertação nacional durante o domínio britânico era inseparável da luta do mundo livre contra o fascismo. A história passava-se em 1933-37, quando a Índia vivia um período difícil com os colonizadores britânicos. Na mesma época em que o Japão militarista atacava a China. O filme foi sucesso financeiro mas, citando Sen novamente, `apenas um meio-sucesso artístico`.Desde então, Sen tem filmes inspirados pelo mundo a sua volta, onde os milhões de habitantes desesperados de seu país, tendo conhecido a humilhação e degradação, lutam continuamente para ter um mundo melhor para viver. Atualmente, Sen faz seus filmes com regularidade, escreve seus próprios roteiros e está sempre em luta fanática para encontrar patrocinadores. Sen está ativamente associado ao Instituto de Cinema da Índia, trabalhando como professor convidado e conselheiro. E consciente dos benefícios mútuos de suas visitas ao Instituto de Cinema onde pode passar aos estudantes sua experiência pessoal e compreensão, além de revigorar-se com a vitalidade deles, impaciência juvenil e mesmo sua arrogância.De acordo com sua recente afirmativa, Sen não se sente envergonhado em usar o cinema como meio de propaganda, desde que os filmes sejam emocionalmente ativos e, desta forma, artisticamente válidos.
