In September, the 'Illuzion' will celebrate the 115th anniversary of Akira Kurosawa: a three-day program 'Golden Dawn' will gather iconic films of Japanese cinema from the 1950s on the big screen. From September 19 to 21, audiences will enjoy a retrospective dedicated to the golden age of Japanese cinema. The program includes legendary films by Kurosawa - 'Seven Samurai', 'Ikiru', and 'Rashomon', which had a colossal influence on world cinema. They will be complemented by 'Street of Shame' by Satsuo Yamamoto and 'Hiroshima' by Hideo Sekigawa - social dramas made in collaboration with trade unions, reflecting the most pressing themes of post-war Japan. All screenings will take place from 35mm copies from the collection of the Russian State Film Fund. The 'Illuzion' cinema will transform into a venue for immersion in the aesthetics of Japanese expressionism, humanistic dramas, and social films. The atmosphere will be enhanced by comments from film scholars - each film will be presented by the curators of the retrospective Andrey Ikko and Alexander Simindeykin. 'Golden Dawn' is an opportunity to see Kurosawa's masterpieces and rare films of his contemporaries on the big screen, to feel the breath of post-war Japan, and to understand why the 1950s became a turning point for world cinema.
