Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award
The Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award (日本映画監督協会新人賞 Nihon Eiga Kantoku Kyōkai Shinjinshō) is given annually by the Directors Guild of Japan to a new director of a film released that year who is considered the most "suitable" for the award.[1][2] The winner is selected by a committee formed of DGJ members.[1] All formats—feature film, documentary, television, video, etc.—are eligible for consideration.[1] In some years when there was no apparent winner, the Guild only issued a "citation" (奨励賞 (shōreishō)) or did not give out the award. Multiple awards have been given in other years. With a long history, many of Japan's major postwar directors have received the award, including Nagisa Ōshima, Susumu Hani, Yoshimitsu Morita, Masayuki Suo, Takeshi Kitano, and Shunji Iwai.[3]
