Fumio Kamei

Japanese: 亀井文夫 - かめいふみお
Fumio Kamei

Documentary film director. Born in Fukushima Prefecture. After studying at the Leningrad Film School in 1928 (Showa 3), he joined PCL, the predecessor of Toho, in 1933. He caused controversy by editing out the destruction of the Second Sino-Japanese War instead of the victories in "Shanghai" (1938), and was banned by the military for his further portrayal of the hardships of war in "Fighting Soldiers" (1939). After "Kobayashi Issa" (1941), he was arrested under the Peace Preservation Law, becoming the only resistance filmmaker to have his directorial license revoked. He returned to Toho after World War II. He also made feature films such as "War and Peace" (1947), which he co-directed with Yamamoto Satsuo, but was forced out during the Toho dispute. In 1954 (Showa 29), he founded Independent Productions and released films such as The Glad I'm Alive (1956), a documentary about the atomic bombing, and Sunagawa: A Record of Bloodshed (1957), a film about the anti-military base movement.

記録映画監督。福島県生まれ。1928年(昭和3)レニングラード映画学校留学後、33年東宝の前身PCLに入社。『上海(シャンハイ)』(1938)で日中戦争の戦勝ではなく戦禍を編集して物議を醸し、さらに『戦ふ兵隊』(1939)では戦争の困苦に肉迫して軍部から上映禁止処分を受ける。『小林一茶(いっさ)』(1941)ののち、治安維持法により逮捕され、演出家資格を抹消された唯一の抵抗映画人となる。第二次世界大戦後東宝に復帰。山本薩夫(さつお)と共同監督の『戦争と平和』(1947)など劇映画もつくったが、東宝争議で追われた。1954年(昭和29)独立プロを創立し、原爆記録映画『生きていてよかった』(1956)、反基地闘争の『流血の記録 砂川』(1957)などを発表。
