TheDirectors 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 theDirectors 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, includingNagisa Ōshima,Susumu Hani,Yoshimitsu Morita,Masayuki Suo,Takeshi Kitano, andShunji Iwai.[3]
