Tokyo 1958 (東京1958) 66 years old

Eight filmmakers collaborate with Teshigahara to create a "frantic, non-stop pop newsreel". Mixing cutout animation with color and black & white photography, this snapshot documents Tokyo in 1957-58, when it had eight and ½ million people and was the largest city in the world. Pollution, bridal fashion, rites, rituals, partying-- Nearly every angle of Tokyo life is compacted into a mere 24 minutes.
