These films show Tezuka the art house animator at his inventive best. [Descriptions adap ted from text by Helen McCarthy for Movies into Manga: Osamu Tezuka< /em>\, shown at Barbican Film\, Barbican Centre\, London\, in September 2008.]\n\nTales of the Street Corner \nDrawing apparently unrel ated elements towards a single tragic climax\, Tales of the Street C orner is profoundly anti-war and is the first film from Tezuka’s Mu shi Productions.\nJapan / 1962 / 38 min. \n\nMermaid \nTrouble d by increasing conformity imposed by Japanese society\, Tezuka examines the power of dreams and the consequences of betraying them. \nJapan / 1 964 / 9 min. / video\n\nDrop \nIn this highly personal film\, e ven the simple backgrounds are drawn by Tezuka.

Tezuka ’s affection for the conventions of silent film fills every frame. \nJap an / 1985 / 6 min. \n\nPush \nIn a world where every necessity can be had from vending machines\, a man goes to see his creator and dem ands to be shown where to buy a brand new Earth. \nJapan / 1987 /4 min. / video\n\nMuramasa \nA magic sword is found stuck into a straw figure. The samurai who finds it keeps cutting at more straw figures to test its sharpness\; but every time he slashes one apart\, it turns int o a human being. \nJapan / 1987 / 9 min. / video\n\nLegend of the Fo rest \nTezuka planned to review the history of animation in four ep isodes\, though only two segments were completed. Set to Tchaikovsky’s F ourth Symphony\, animals and fantasy creatures warn humans about the dan ger of destroying natural habitats\, while Tezuka warns of cheap\, limit ed TV animation decimating the art’s rich heritage (co-directed by Kouji Ui).\nJapan / 1987 / 29 min.\n\nPart of the film series Osamu Tezuka: Go d of Manga\, Father of Anime CATEGORIES:Smithsonian Event,Films DTSTAMP:20091117T183552Z X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Event Type";ID=21;TYPE=Number:Smithsonian Eve nt X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Event Location";ID=10831;TYPE=SingleLine:Meye r Auditorium X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Categories";ID=11153;TYPE=CustomAsset:Films X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Venue";ID=11223;TYPE=CustomAsset:Freer Galler y X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Cost";ID=12112;TYPE=MultiLine:Free\; first come\, first served UID:http://uid.trumba.com/event/85084282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ImaginAsia: Predicting Your Future DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20091122T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20091122T140000 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE DESCRIPTION:(Ages 8-14 with adult companion) What if you had a book that helped you decide if today was safe to ride your bike?
