Nippon Re-Read: Radical Fragments & Abstractions from Japan I & II - Benefit Night

Event information

Zipangu Fest's popular experimental film programme returns for 2011, with this two-part programme from Kinema Nippon (programmed by Aily Nash and Nine Yamamoto-Masson), featuring films ranging 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.

Alongside this fine spectrum of experimental moving image works from Japan, we will be showing the 2001 experimental animation Cat Soup, which will be soundtracked live by noise-rock band Bo Ningen, courtesy of the Branchage International Film Festival.

All proceeds from this screening at Café Oto in Dalston (18-22 Ashwin St, London E8 3DL) on November 22nd will go towards Japan disaster relief.

Doors open at 7.30pm. Seats are limited, and for those without advance-bought tickets, an admission fee of £5 will be charged on the door. All proceeds the benefit night will go towards Japan disaster relief, via Japanisch-Deutsches Zentrum Berlin (http://www.jdzb.de/).
