Description

ISAO YMADA started his artistic career by working at Shuji Terayama's theatre company, Tenjousajiki. In 1974, he was appointed as an artistic crew for Terayama's feature-film, "Denen ni Shisu" (Pastoral: To Die in the Country). As a film director, Yamada's release includes "Anmonaito no sasayaki wo kiita" (I’ve heard the ammonite’s murmur:1992), "Jouhatsu Tabinikki" (The Soul Odyssey: 2003) based on the essay by Yoshiharu Tsuge, and "Shutorumu undo Doranku" (Sturm und Drang, 2014). In addition to his work in cinema, Yamada is also known for his work in manga, painting and graphic design. The calligraphic fonts used in his experimental films are all by his own hand writings.

"The living mind and the dead heart - how can we distinguish them from each other? When my father died, I thought that only “fragmentation of night” was left of this world. I made The Long Goodbye to be my last film I would ever create. Tokyo Nostalgia was made in the tenth year after my father's death when I spent a month with my mother. Here I am still continuing to film, including recent piece of The Night of Copernicus."
-Isao Yamada
