These films show Tezuka the art house animator at his inventive best. [Descriptions adapted from text by Helen McCarthy for <em>Movies into Manga: Osamu Tezuka</em>, shown at Barbican Film, Barbican Centre, London, in September 2008.]<br><br><em>Tales of the Street Corner</em> <br>Drawing apparently unrelated elements towards a single tragic climax, <em>Tales of the Street Corner</em> is profoundly anti-war and is the first film from Tezuka&#8217;s Mushi Productions.<br>Japan / 1962 / 38 min. <br><br><em>Mermaid</em> <br>Troubled by increasing conformity imposed by Japanese society, Tezuka examines the power of dreams and the consequences of betraying them. <br>Japan / 1964 / 9 min. / video<br><br><em>Drop</em> <br>In this highly personal film, even the simple backgrounds are drawn by Tezuka. A thirsty man on a raft tries desperately (and fruitlessly) to get a precious drop of water. <br>Japan / 1965 / 4 min. / video<br><br><em>Pictures at an Exhibition</em> <br>Opening with a literal, live-action walk into a gallery, Mussorgsky&#8217;s music becomes a jumping-off point for a series of ten visually distinct and stylish segments. <br>Japan / 1966 / 39 min. / video<br><br><em>Jumping </em><br>One of the most technically dazzling achievements of its day, <em>Jumping</em> was shot in a single cut with 4,000 images showing a skipping boy gradually striding higher and higher until he leaps across war-torn countries, looking down on human activity like a god. <br>Japan / 1984 / 6 min.<br><br><em>Broken Down Film </em><br>A heroic cowboy fights not only a conventional villain but also a film so old that it breaks down. Tezuka&#8217;s affection for the conventions of silent film fills every frame. <br>Japan / 1985 / 6 min. <br><br><em>Push </em><br>In a world where every necessity can be had from vending machines, a man goes to see his creator and demands to be shown where to buy a brand new Earth. <br>Japan / 1987 /4 min. / video<br><br><em>Muramasa </em><br>A 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 into a human being. <br>Japan / 1987 / 9 min. / video<br><br><em>Legend of the Forest </em><br>Tezuka planned to review the history of animation in four episodes, though only two segments were completed. Set to Tchaikovsky&#8217;s Fourth Symphony, animals and fantasy creatures warn humans about the danger of destroying natural habitats, while Tezuka warns of cheap, limited TV animation decimating the art&#8217;s rich heritage (co-directed by Kouji Ui).<br>Japan / 1987 / 29 min.<br><br><strong>Part of the film series</strong> <a href="http://www.asia.si.edu/film/tezuka/" target="_blank"><strong>Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga, Father of Anime</strong></a> Freer and Sackler Galleries http://uid.trumba.com/event/86420809 2009-11-22T19:00:00Z 2009-11-22T19:00:00Z (Ages 8-14 with adult companion) What if you had a book that helped you decide if today was safe to ride your bike?
