Avant-garde filmmaker *Motoharu Jonouchi*, who founded Nihon University
Film Study Club (Nichidai Eiken) and VAN Film Science Research Center
(VAN), began his Gewaltpia series around the new student movement that
emerged in Japan around 1968, focusing on the Nihon University struggle.
“Gewaltpia” is a word coined from gewalt, the German word for “violence,”
and utopia. This series of works began with “Nihon University Hakusan
Street” (1968), which documented the first demonstration that took place in
front of the Nihon University in May, 1968. It continued with “The Mass
Collective Bargaining at Nihon University” (1968), then documenting
barricades while making the political pink film, *Sex Games,* that were
being shot by Masao Adachi “At the Auditorium of Nihon University College
of Art” (1968), to “Gewaltopia Trailer” (1969), which connected his own
work and horror/genre cinema with protests at Tokyo University and Nihon
University.

In this online program, we welcome filmmaker *Masao Adachi* as a guest
speaker, who has long collaborated with Jonouchi at Nichidai Eiken and VAN.
The discussion will be moderated by programmer Go Hirasawa.
