Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase, celebrated for his work depicting domestic life with his wife Yoko and best known for his 1986 book The Solitude of Ravens, must overcome tradition, his inner demons, and the pain of a broken marriage. Ravens is a poignant love story, revealing how a life devoted to photography can both consume and destroy love.

Post-screening sharing - Masahisa Fukase’s “private photography” (shishashin)

Cinematheque・Passion - Film Information Room

Language: Cantonese

* Free admission. No registration is required.

You may know Masahisa Fukase as the creator of the "Ravens" series, but his influence goes far beyond that. As one of Japan’s most experimental post-war photographers, he transformed intimate stories into visual language and pioneered the “private photography” (shishashin) movement, in which love and death are his most profound themes. This post-screening talk will focus on Fukase’s photography publications and explore how personal experience shaped a classic of Japanese photography. Join us to feel how the master used images to tell life’s story.
