Hudson Institute-EPPC Summer Film Series Presents: "After Life" (1998)

Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal joins the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) to present the 2011 Summer Film Series. Hosted by EPPC Resident Scholar James Bowman and Hudson Senior Fellow William Schambra, this year we're leaving this life entirely to see how the movies have thought about the next one—a subject that for seventy years they have found surprisingly congenial and often treated with moving sensitivity.

All movies in this series were screened on Tuesday evenings between June 28 and July 26, 2011 at Hudson Institute's Wasington headquarters. Each session began with a brief introduction and was followed by a discussion lead by James Bowman, film critic for The American Spectator. Click here to read his commentary.

The July 26, 2011 screening was After Life (Wandâfuru Raifu) (1998), directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, starring Arata, Erika Oda, Susumo Terajima.
