Xcèntric: A Man Playing Movie. An Anthology of Japanese Avant-Garde Cinema

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 14/02/2025 - 07:38

This session, a look at Japanese avant-garde cinema of the seventies and eighties, brings together the work of the leading figures of that movement with that of practically invisible artists. The playful cinema of illusion of these three generations of directors combines the representation of landscape with a minimalist analysis of the cinematographic device.
