In the 60s, the Art Theatre Guild of Japan (ATG) in Tokyo became the centre of a vibrant independent filmmaking scene, encouraging bold experiments and innovative collaborations with other artists. The discussion focuses on the ATG, its related space Theatre Scorpio, and the films the ATG helped produce or distribute, including works by Nagisa &#038;#212shima, K&#244;ji Wakamatsu and Sh&#244;hei Imamura.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Ross is a commissioning editor at <I>Vertigo Magazine<\/I> and the programme coordinator for the Theatre Scorpio season at Close-Up Film Centre and the Art Theatre Guild season at the BFI Southbank.<\/p>\n<div class=\"info\">First broadcast on Resonance FM 104.4 on Friday 19 August.<\/div>\n<div
