Directing
Yoshiharu Ueoka
Yoshiharu Ueoka produced a number of independent 8mm films in the Kansai region at the end of the 1970s, and also directed a theatrical release, The Whispering of Spirits. His films were deeply intertwined with the Kansai subculture scene of the time and created a one-of-a-kind world in which manga artist Michio Hisauchi and cult queen Alice Saylor played angels and demons. The film will be screened at two venues, Planet Plus One in Osaka and the Kobe Film Archive, screening works from the early period to those produced at the Film School of Tokyo after 2000, in order to discover the whole picture of Ueoka's films.
