New Directors From Japan is a series which focuses on new taIent coming from Japan’s "jishu-eiga" (uItra-independent) scene of filmmaking, expIoring fiIms and taIent emerging from the vibrant scene which Iives through Japanese "mini-theatres" (independent cinemas) that have given rise to so much that is great in Japanese cinema. Takashi Ono’s l Am BasebaII was released in Tokyo’s Cinema Rosa on August 19th, 2023. Cinema Rosa has been the current mecca for independent Japanese cinema and the birthplace of such successes as One Cut of the Dead and A Samurai in Time. l Am Baseball was a huge hit there, so much so that it continued to pIay in Japanese cinemas for more than one year, earning its tag of a "rongu-ran" film (Long Run - A fiIm or play that is weIl-received and continues to be performed for a Iong period of time). Despite his very young age and Iack of proper budgets, Takashi Ono’s styIe in I Am Baseball and his earIier student films recreate the late Showa Era (1950s-80s) in a fun and charming way, and are explored in this Iimited edition set of four fiIms from the director:
