Founded upon the consolidation of countless production companies and theater chains, Nikkatsu Corporation has loved a wealthy good reputation for film production and distribution since 1912. Ever since then, notable company directors for example Kenji Mizoguchi, Kon Ichikawa, Shozo Makino and the boy Masahiro Makino, Ko Nakahira, Shohei Imamura and Seijun Suzuki make films underneath the Nikkatsu banner. Throughout World War Ii, Nikkatsu was intentionally coupled with other Japanese galleries to create a large, government-affected studio, however in 1954 the organization started again production under its control. Trying to find its niche within the flourishing postwar Japanese film industry, Nikkatsu moved in to the youth market using its stirring screen adaptation of Shintaro Ishihara’s SEASON From The SUN. A massive success, Nikkatsu rapidly accompanied having a wave of comparable works oriented for that youth market. Because the style of these youth films started to wane in early 60s, Nikkatsu released a number of hard-boiled action films that remain possibly the organization’s most widely known period worldwide. Brought by such action stars as Shishedo Joe, Yujiro Ishihara and Hideaki Nitani, Nikkatsu action introduced a brand new type of protagonist, frequently cynical and also at odds having a society revealed to become totally corrupt. Affected by American B movies, Nikkatsu action would itself be considered a key relation to the Hong Kong gunplay films years later. With aging action stars along with a public searching for new things, Nikkatsu within the 70s produced “Roman Porno,” romantic pornography, a number of soft-core erotic films that featured real (if frequently bizarre) plots and stars. The continual change in production enabled Nikkatsu to remain lucrative while other Japanese galleries were either closing or switching to television. Yet through the 90s, Nikkkatsu was itself instructed to declare personal bankruptcy and re-organize. Despite alterations in possession since that time, Nikkatsu has continued to be continuously in production, branching out into new genre for example horror, fighting techinques as well as family drama. Because it approaches its centenary, Nikkatsu’s motto “We Make Fun Films” remains as true today because it is at its golden era. A brand new generation of filmgoers are finding its classic films and filmmakers, inspiring not just the re-discharge of films using their catalogue but producing remakes too. Organized through the Film Society of Lincoln subsequently Center with Nikkatsu Corporation, the Japan Foundation and also the National Film Center of Japan, this Centenary Celebration of Nikkatsu is going to be tested later this season in the Festival of three Continents in Nantes, France, in addition to in the Cinematheque Franaise.
