Press conference held for Kazumi Kurigami’s ‘Gelatin Silver Love’

Earlier today renowned Japanese photographer Kazumi Kurigami held a press conference at Cinema Jack & Betty movie theater to announce production of his directorial debut entitled Gelatin Silver Love. Also in attendance were the film's stars, Masatoshi Nagase, Rie Miyazawa, and Koji Yakusho. "Gelatin silver" is a reference to the process of developing black and white photographs and in the film Rie Miyazawa wears a silver-colored wig which she showed off at the press conference.

In the script Yakusho's character hires a photographer played by Nagase to secretly follow a killer (Miyazawa). As the story develops there is relatively little dialogue as the audience observes much of what happens through his lens. Production begins this month with release expected in 2009.
