Orochi set to screen at the Yufuin Cinema Festival!

Originally produced in 1925, Orochi starring Tsumasaburo Bando is a masterpiece of silent cinema. The film's 4K digital restoration, with music by Yasuaki Shimizu, is set to screen at the 51st Yufuin Cinema Festival.

Sparked by his acclaimed performance at the 2008 Orochi film/concert at Meiji Jingu Hall, Shimizu was invited by the producer to reimagine the music for this new release. To match the reincorporated scenes and adjusted footage speeds, Shimizu meticulously reconstructed his original compositions and laid down a brand-new recording for this stunning restoration.

Bringing this cinematic masterpiece to the Yufuin Cinema Festival, a historic haven for film enthusiasts, makes for a truly unique event. For those in the region, we encourage you to experience it.

Friday, August 28 |10:00–11:45
