Sumiko Haneda (Japanese: 羽田澄子; born 3 January 1926) is a Japanese film director.[1]

Life and career

[edit]

Haneda was born in 1926 in Dalian, Manchuria. In 1942 she graduated from Lushun High School for Girls. She moved from Manchuria and after graduating from Jiyu Gakuen Women's High School,[2] in 1950 she joined Iwanami Film Productions, an affiliated company that had no capital relationship with Iwanami Shoten.[3][4]

In 1977, she independently produced "Usuzumi no Sakura" for the first time over four years. At the Iwanami Hall screening with three other films, Etsuko Takano, the general manager, changes the practice of free admission by taking the first admission fee for a documentary film commercial screening.[5][6]

In 1980, she retired from Iwanami Productions. About 80 works during her tenure. After that, she became a freelancer and works at Jiyu Kobo, a documentary film production company led by her husband, producer Mitsuru Kudo.[7] She is involved in documentary films in various genres such as traditional performing arts, welfare, art, and modern history.[8][9]

In 1982, she completed Hayachine no Fu, which she had been working on while she was still working, as her second independent film after. At Iwanami Hall, the long roadshow of the 3-hour long documentary from May 29 to June 25 was said to be an adventure, but it turned out to be a record success and will be re-screened for a week on August 7 . She establishes herself as a documentary filmmaker.[10][11]
