A Visit to Ogawa Productions offers a rare insight into the social and cinematic philosophy of one of Japan’s best-known documentary film collectives. As the film reveals, Ogawa Productions’ in-depth portraits of Japanese society – whether of protest movements or traditional agricultural life – grew out of an unusual commitment to integrate themselves with the communities they filmed, to the extent that their film-making literally became an alternative lifestyle.
