Latest / Outskirts Film Podcast

#007 - The Many Seasons of Hiroshi Shimizu (feat. David Phelps)
This week on the podcast, the Outskirts team explores the still-underappreciated Japanese master Hiroshi Shimizu’s versatile body of work—ranging from lyrical tapestries of the countryside to neo-realist postwar films. Joined by David Phelps, who penned a comprehensive essay on the filmmaker in Issue 3, and our co-editor Nathan Letoré, we journey through Shimizu’s filmography just as Arigatō-san roams the Izu Peninsula—with a joyful sense of discovery in each encounter.
