John Ford and Throwing
"John Ford, or The Eloquence of Gesture."
Synopsis
A short length work by revered critic and theorist Shiguéhiko Hasumi and Shô Miyake, editing together John Ford's thematic system of “throwing” across many of his films. Edited according to which and how much each throwing scene was written about in Hasumi’s John Ford book, this film serves as a definitive version of a collage film initially created by Shinji Aoyama ten years ago. Aoyama, who passed away in March 2022, never saw the completion of his teacher’s book. Recognizing this, Hasumi recommended that Shô Miyake create a definitive version of the collage film, allowing him total creative freedom within a 60-minute runtime limit.
