While many of their catalogs are accessible in the United States, there are some more unknown directors featured in the series, like Nobuhiro Suwa and his first feature,, whose French New Wave-influenced style is a bit of a standout in the series. His 1997 filmhas been recently restored, and Moreno said she expects to screen it at AFS “soon enough, but he’s a filmmaker that people just do not know here.

Another one of Moreno’s favorite directors, Gakuryū Ishii , is included in the series. His short film, directed as Sogo Ishii, “Isolation of 1/880000” is a fascinating character study of a young man living in solitude, studying for his university entrance exams, having already failed once. It’s a powerful little film, desolate in its hopelessness, and nearly 50 years later it still feels culturally relevant, something Moreno believes applies to all the films.

AFS Cinema presents Hachimiri Madness: Japanese Indies From the Punk Years. Through March 1. AFS Cinema, 6406 N. I-35 #3100.
