SHUNSUI MATSUDA
O produtor, diretor e narrador deste filme começou a sua carreira no cinema japonês, ainda garoto, em 1930, exatamente como um `benshi`.

A partir dos anos 60, Matsuda passou a se dedicar fixamente a coleta de velhos filmes mudos com o propósito de reviver a era dos `benshi`. Em 1985 o autor deste trabalho foi premiado pela prefeitura de Tóquio em reconhecimento a sua nobre pesquisa. Ele morreu em 87. O seu filho, Eigasha Matsuda, passou então a cuidar da valiosa obra deixada pelo pai. Tadao Sato, colaborador do projeto com o roteiro e as entrevistas, é crítico de cinema e autor do livro "The History of Japanese Cinema".

STANLEY KUBRICK
STANLEY KUBRICK
Born in New York City in 1926, Stanley Kubrick is now regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Beginning his career as a professional photographer for Look magazine at the age of seventeen, the job led to the production a series of self-financed short newsreels for movie theaters. His first attempt at making a feature was Fear and Desire (1953), a film he later pulled out of circulation. His feature film career officially began with the film noirs Killer’s Kiss (1953) and The Killing (1955). The latter’s success brought Kubrick to the attention of MGM, where he made his third feature: the WWI film Paths of Glory (1957), with Kirk Douglas. His association with Douglas led to him replacing the initial director of Spartacus (1960), the historical epic where the actor played the title role. After the film’s financial success, Kubrick relocated to England, where he would spend the rest of his life directing films with more artistic freedom, tackling the most diverse of cinematic genres: comedy with Lolita (1962) and Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), science fiction with 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), costume drama with Barry Lyndon (1975), horror with The Shining (1980) and war film with Full Metal Jacket (1987). Kubrick died months before the release of his last film, Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The 37th Mostra is holding a complete retrospective of his work, along with co-publishing Michel Ciment’s book Kubrick with Cosac Naify.
