Travels in Experimental Film: In & Out of Japan
Nippon Visions ½
'In & Out of Japan' curated by Julian Ross presents experimental films, video art and animations from the 1950s up to the present by Japanese filmmakers who live or have lived abroad. Bringing together films from New York, Chicago, Montreal, London and Paris, the programme questions the validity of the concept of national cinema in the context of those who no longer call their country their only home. Ranging from the poetic to the abrasive, the films resonate with one another along themes of travel and discovery as well as an aesthetic preoccupation with cityscapes and the frame.
Kindly supported by Andrew Lampert, Chicago Film Archives, Eye Film Institute, Giotta Tajiri, James Cohan Gallery, Marv Gold, Light Cone and the artists.
Guests:
Julian Ross, Sylvia Schedelbauer
