Masao ADACHI


Masao ADACHI, born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1939, began making films during his studies at Nihon University and is considered one of the most influential experimental filmmakers of the 1960’s, having worked with Nagisa OSHIMA and pink film director Koji WAKAMATSU, among others. In the 1970’s, he joined the Japanese Red Army and went to Lebanon, where he lived until his arrest and deportation to Japan in 2000. With THE PRISONER (2006 / NC ‘07), he again took up his work as a filmmaker with a focus on political activism. His latest film is ESCAPE (2025 / NC ‘25).
