Description
Zipangu Fest returns with a strong experimental film programme for 2011, thanks to curator Julian Ross. Come and enjoy a fine spectrum of experimental moving image works from Japan, for a good cause! All proceeds from this screening will go towards Japan disaster relief via Japanisch-Deutsches Zentrum Berlin.
The films in this two-part programme from Kinema Nippon (curated by Aily Nash and Nine Yamamoto-Masson) range from late 60s to contemporary works. Although varying greatly in their formal and aesthetic concerns, the works all rigorously reexamine the everyday through their respective experiments and innovations in their medium.
In addition to the film programme outlined below, BO NINGEN - London's premier noise rock band - will perform their live soundtrack to 'Cat Soup' - a wonderfully surreal and deceptively simple landmark in experimental animation inspired by the manga artist Nekojiru. Tatsuo Sato pays homage with an explosion of colours and twisted deliriums that follow Nyatta's series of eccentric encounters as he journeys in attempt to retrieve his sister's half-soul.
The soundtrack was specially commissioned by the Branchage Film Festival.
