Children of Water – Kyoto Premiere!

September 23, 2010 By Michael Lambe 2 Comments

Regular readers will remember that just over a year ago I interviewed Roger Walch and Ted Taylor about the making of the movie “Children of Water”. At that time we had a wide-ranging discussion about story-telling, old movies, jizo statues, and very, very creepy kokeshi dolls. Well, now’s your chance to see the movie here in Kyoto! Roger says…

I have the honor to announce two screenings of my new film “Children of Water” in Kyoto. The premiere will take place on Oct. 1 and an additional screening on Nov. 26. Starring Ted Taylor and Lili Sakamoto, the movie was shot in Kyoto and Ishikawa prefectures. It is very different from my previous films and deals with the theme of abortion…

Synopsis:
After one year in an ESL-course in the US, Mina (a Japanese graphic designer) returns to Kyoto and discovers that she is pregnant. She contemplates abortion, but her American boyfriend Brad strongly opposes and flies to Japan to convince her to keep the baby. During his stay he not only gets to know life and customs in Japan but also different moral and religious values.

Here’s the trailer:

    Continue with the the good work on the blog. I kinda like it! 🙂 Could maybe use some more updates more often, but i’m quite sure that you got better things to do like we all do. =)

    Thanks for your comment and kind word, Resor. As for updates – I try to post as often as I can – I guess four or five times a week is the average. Lately however, I’ve been a wee bit busy because of my involvement with the anti-aquarium campaign and this month in particular I’ve been completely tied up with organizing the protest event “Voices for Umekoji“. So it can’t be helped I’m afraid. But hopefully now that the event is over, I’ll be able to up the output again soon.
