Chris Fugiwara, artistic director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Poetic and visually astonishing, <i>Moving<\/i> describes the transformation of 12 year old Renko following her parents&#8217; separation. She&nbsp;repeatedly tries to reunite them and finally persuades&nbsp;them to meet at Lake Biwa for the Fireworks Festival. But there is no fixing&nbsp;their estrangement. She  spends the day and night alone in the hills around the lake.&nbsp;At last having come to terms with the situation&nbsp;she is ready to grow up and move on.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>&quot;Somai&#8217;s ever-sympathetic, sometimes stylised yet resolutely lifelike film captures a vanishing childhood in ways that very few films have ever managed. One day this will be called a classic.&quot; Bradford International Film Festival 2014.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Further reading<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><a href= \"http:\/\/www.theskinny.co.uk\/film\/features\/302011-forgotten_man_eiff_director_chris_fujiwara_shinji_somai\" target = \"_blank\">Forgotten Man<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<li><a href= \"http:\/\/www.cinemaofchildhood.com\/moving-2\/\" target = \"_blank\">Cinema of Childhood<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<li><a href= \"http:\/\/film.list.co.uk\/article\/42442-shinji-somai-retrospective-at-edinburgh-international-film-festival-2012\/\" target = \"_blank\">The List<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<li><a href= \"http:\/\/climbingaboard.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/12\/retrospective-shinji-somai-1948-2001\/\" target = \"_blank\">EIFF Retrospective<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director: Shinji Somai, Japan 1993, 124 mins, PG &#8216;a grand odyssey of heightened perception and emotion, far transcending the typical level of films about &#8216;coming&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2484,"parent":703,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2483"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2483"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2705,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2483\/revisions\/2705"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
