          5. Shinya Tsukamoto

          One of the most important names in contemporary Japanese cinema, Shinya Tsukamoto has done groundbreaking work in arousing international attention for Japanese film. When his still powerful, independently made, black-and-white Tetsuo: the Iron Man (1989) toured an unprecedented number of festivals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, many western eyes turned eastward with renewed interest.

          At home however, Tsukamoto has always kept a position in the margins.

          Despite doing the occasional, but always interesting, director-for-hire job (such as Hiruko the Goblin and Gemini), he has remained fiercely independent, nurturing his projects with complete devotion, and honing his unique and very distinct style.

          The special jury prize his latest film A Snake of June (Rokugatsu no Hebi) received at the 2002 Venice film festival once again showed how enamoured western film buffs are with the work of Shinya Tsukamoto.
