The Tokyo International Film Festival will honor filmmakers Mohammad Rasoulof and Mipo O with its Kurosawa Akira Award at the event’s 39th edition next month.

Named for the Japanese master, the award recognizes directors whose work has made an impact on cinema and who are expected to help shape its future. It was revived in 2022 after a 14-year hiatus with support from Capcom. Last year’s recipients were Chloé Zhao and Lee Sang-il.

Late girlhood has a sacredness that can’t be replicated. It’s a particular time in life between innocence and adulting, allowing young women to swing between the two. Jocelyn Bioh’s sensational play, “School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play,” captures this magic and anguish, set against the specificity of mid-1980s Ghana. Directed by Whitney White, who also helmed Bioh’s Tony-nominated “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding” three years ago, “School Girls” is an uproariously funny and heartbreaking portrait of sisterhood framed by the consequences of colonialism, anti-Blackness, and colorism. In just 75 minutes, “School Girls” captures what it means to be Black and female across time, space and place.
