Year of Glenn Gould - 2nd commemorative event
“Keiichiro Hirano: The Fascinating Glenn Gould” - Lecture with viewing of J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations DVD
(J)

■ Thursday, November 29
  Embassy of Canada Oscar Peterson Theatre

The extraordinary genius/pianist Glenn Gould was born in Toronto on September 25, 1932 and died there October 4, 1982. With 2007 marking the 75th anniversary of his birth and the 25th anniversary of his death, it is the “Year of Glenn Gould”. For the Canadian Embassy's second commemorative lecture event, Akutagawa Prize-winning author and music expert Keiichiro Hirano will explain Gould's never-to-be-forgotten musical accomplishments from his unique perspective. He was the passionate supervisor of Sony Classical's special edition Gould CDs, the newest and best Gould recordings, that were released October 3. Hirano selected the works, wrote the liner notes, and attended the mastering sessions. His lecture (in Japanese) promises to shed new light on the uniqueness and profound appeal of Glenn Gould, a musician in whom interest only continues to grow.

映画/Film/Les films

8th Tokyo FILMeX: Brand Upon the Brain! by Guy Maddin

■ Sunday, November 18 and Friday, November 23
  Yurakucho Asahi Hall

In his latest original and unconventional film, Manitoba-born director Guy Maddin goes beyond his trademark black-and-white and shoots a silent movie (with narration by actress Isabella Rossellini) to give even more shadow and depth to the images and story. A bold re-imagination of Maddin's childhood, the film depicts the strange family the boy grew up in as it operates a lighthouse on an isolated island. Maddin's uniquely eerie and fantastical world is displayed in full. 2006, 35mm black and white, in English with Japanese subtitles.
