Большая белая башня
Lighting Technician
Профессор медицинского факультета одного из университетов собирается уходить на пенсию. На это место претендует молодой способный хирург Горо Дзайдзэн. Он талантлив. Он прекрасен своей щедрой одарённостью, своим ненасытным упоением жизнью и своими успехами, этот сын нищей крестьянки, с неимоверным трудом выбившийся в люди. И всё-таки Дзайдзэн конченый человек, ибо со студенческих лет принял условия игры, в которой все средства хороши. И его самонадеянность, пренебрежение к длительным клиническим исследованиям и к мнению товарищей по профессии вызывают опасения у профессуры университета. Чтобы получить большинство голосов на выборах, Горо использует любые средства для закулисных интриг: связи, подкуп, шантаж.

Sadakichi Shimizu, the Armed Robber
Director
'Armed Robber Shimizu Sadakicchi' is considered Japan's debut film and came on the heels of the country obtaining its first film camera. It famously was only a couple of minutes' long as its film reel was only seventy feet long. It featured who is considered to be Japan's first film actor Unpei Yokoyama who was one of two actors in the film. It features one scene where a robber is apprehended by the police.
Maple Leaf Viewing
Director
[…] A reel was shot of the Noh drama Momiji-gari (Maple Leaf Hunters, or Viewing Scarlet Maple Leaves), in which Danjuro played opposite Onoe Kikugoro V (1844-1903) as an ogress who has disguised herself as the Princess Sarashina. Filmed by Shibata Tsunekichi in the open air on a windy day in November 1899, Danjuro would allow only the one take, so that when his fan blew away in mid-performance the scene had to stay. The film re-emerged at the Kikikan theatre in 1907 where it was a great success and inspired a wave of fiction filmmaking based on traditional Japanese narratives.
