We are proud to be co-presenting with the San Francisco Silent Film Festival 1933's POLICEMAN (Keisatsukan), with live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne and Frank Bockius, on Friday, June 1, 9:30 PM at the Castro Theatre. One of the few surviving pre-WWII works of Tomu Uchida, the film reveals the Japanese director's astonishing range. The stylish crime drama, melding the reflective pace of traditional Japanese cinema with explosive eruptions of action, tells a gripping story of two childhood friends who end up on opposite sides of the law. FNF prez Eddie Muller will introduce the screening. Print courtesy of the National Film Archive of Japan. Special support provided by the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Co-presented by the Film Noir Foundation and the Center for Asian American Media . Tickets for the screening are available for sale on the SFSFF's website:https://bit.ly/2HNnqUG
