  • Different Cinema vol.1

    The ten short films on this DVD represent a panoramic view of contemporary experimental creativity. It's the visuals that take the lead over the narration and orient the direction of the works. But these directions are joined with questions of humanity, philosophy and aesthetics that each creator asks himself, no matter what the style or format is used, concerning: games, desire, encounters, the search for an identity, representation or society.

    White calligraphy, Takahiko IimuraTakahiko Iimura: Writing with light
    Films and live performance by Takahiko Iimura
    Saturday December 10, 19h, Admission $6
    MICROSCOPE, 4 Charles Place Bushwick Brooklyn NY 11221

    Microscope Gallery is very happy to welcome back from Tokyo Japanese master of experimental cinema Takahiko Iimura. The show will feature the NY premieres of several of Iimura’s works on film, as well as a special Super 8mm performance White Calligraphy, Re-read where Iimura will write with light. Not to be missed.

    Programme:

    Eye For Eye, Ear For Ear (NY Premiere)
    featuring:
    - Film Strips I (1967-1970/2009) 12 min, music by Haruyuki Suzuki (2009)
    - Film Strips II (1967-70/2009) 13 min, music by Haruyuki Suzuki (2009)

    “The best work of Iimura’s middle period is characterized by increasingly formal concerns, concerns most effectively demonstrated by Film Strips I and II (1967-70). Film Strips II […] resulted in an experience which is not only interesting visually, but which is implicitly a powerful record of a painful time and a warning about the future.”
    – Scott MacDonald (Afterimage, April, 1978 (The author of “Critical Cinema,” California Univ. Press)

    “When I came to the USA in the mid 1960s, it was the high point of the Hippie movement and the black riots. I lived in the East Village in New York, which was a center of the former, and watched TV news of the latter often. These two films, Film Strips I and II, were taken from the scenes respectively, not as a documentary but as an inner report of mine, abstracted yet chaotic.” — Taka Iimura

    Takahiko Iimura: Between The FramesTakahiko Iimura: Between The Frames
    March 19 – April 11, 2011
    Microscope Gallery
    4 Charles Place, Brooklyn NY 11221
    Opening Reception Saturday March 19, 18-21h
    with live 16mm projection performance of the ever-changing “Circle and a Square”

    Microscope Gallery is honored to present the first Brooklyn solo exhibition of the film and video pioneer Takahiko Iimura. Between The Frames is a comprehensive exhibition featuring works made from 1975 to the present, many of which are constantly evolving. The new suspended installation “400 frames” uses ink drawings from 1975. A new print series “MA: The Stones Have Moved” are made from digital drawings related to his 2004 animated video of a Zen garden in Kyoto of the same title. Also on display: Iimura’s famous 1993 “funny faces” silkscreens and video game installation based on Derridda’s “Differance” dealing with physicality of language “AIUEONN Six Features“, never-before-seen sculptures made from 16mm film loop and more.

    Iimura has been working with the moving image on film since the 60s and video since the early 70s. After moving to New York in the late 60s became involved with the avant garde scene along side Yoko Ono and Nam Jun Paik and is recognized as one of the most important Japanese artists today. His work is shown widely with numerous solo shows including MoMA, the Whitney Museum, the National Gallery Jeu de Paume, Paris, Reina Sofia National Museum, Madrid, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo. Iimura currently lives and works in Tokyo and NYC.

    “His [Iimura’s] Japanese origins contributed decisively to his uncompromising explorations of cinema’s minimalist and conceptual possibilities. He has explored this direction of cinema in greater depth than anyone else. To review all of Iimura’s work…is an important occasion for all who are concerned with the development and pleasure of cinema as an art.” — Jonas Mekas

    no.w.here and Takahiko Iimura present: How To Make Time Visible In Film
    Wednesday October 6th, 19-22h
    no.w.here, First Floor
    316 - 318 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 OAG

    Takahiko Iimura has been a pioneer Japanese artist of experimental film and video since 1960. Residing in both Tokyo and New York, Iimura has had numerous exhibitions in Japan, the US, and Europe. One of his early films, ONAN, was awarded Special Prize at the legendary Brussels International Experimental Festival. Recently, he has been working with computers, publishing multimedia CD-ROMs and DVDs of his films, videos, graphics, texts, as well as photographic works. Perhaps the most enigmatic figure in avant-garde cinema/video, Takahiko Iimura mediates Zen spirituality and technology with playful irony.

    For this unique workshop to be held at no.w.here, Iimura will be exploring how participants can make time visible in film, (without photography), using markers of different colors and sizes, long and fat needles, clear and black 16mm film. The workshop will include screenings of original Iimura prints sourced from the Lux, (to whom our thanks are due), including;

    - 24 Frames Per Second 1975
    - One Frame Duration 1977
    - 2 Min. 46 Sec. 16 Frames (100 Feet) 1972
    - Timed 1, 2, 3 1972
    - (Timing 1,2,3,4 1972)
    - (Timelength 1,2,3,4 1972)
    - 1 To 60 Seconds 1973

    By on

    Close-Up: Seeing/Hearing/Speaking – The Films of Takahiko Iimura + Live Performance
    Tuesday October 5th, Time: 20h, Doors open at 19.45h
    Venue: The Working Men’s Club, 44-46 Pollard Row, London E2 6NB
    Ticket: £5/£3 to Close-Up members

    This programme is a survey of the work of Japan's most influential experimental filmmaker, Takahiko Iimura, from his earliest 1960s experiments and conceptual videos to his later videos on semiology and identity. Takahiko Iimura will perform CIRCLE AND SQUARE and be in attendance for Q&A moderated by Julian Ross.

    "Taka Iimura has been making films since the early 1960s. His work has gone through a series of relatively clear, consistent developments: from 1962 to 1968, Iimura was largely involved with surreal imagery, with eroticism, and with social criticism; from 1968 through 1971, he continued to use photographic imagery, but worked with it in increasingly formal ways; from 1972 until 1978, he devoted himself very largely to a series of minimalist explorations of time and space. During the years since, Iimura has been more fully involved with video than with film." — Scott MacDonald

    "Although Taka was and continues to be an active part of the New York avant-garde scene, he always remained an enigmatic, mysterious presence, pursuing his own unique route through the very center of the avant-garde cinema. While the intensity and the fire of the American avant-garde film movement inspired him and attracted him, his Japanese origins contributed decisively to his uncompromising explorations of cinema's minimalist and conceptualist possibilities. He has explored this direction of cinema in greater depth than anyone else." — Jonas Mekas

    Japanese Experimental Cinema: An Evening with Takahiko Iimura
    Monday October 11th 2010, 18:30h, free entrance
    ICS Cinema, University of Leeds, Woodhouse, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom

    Cherry Kino and the CWC-MCN University of Leeds have invited Takahiko Iimura to join our screening of a selection of his films, which will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker himself. Many thanks to WREAC (www.wreac.org) who are helping us fund the event and ICS who kindly offered their venue.

    Takahiko Iimura is an experimental filmmaker, video artist and writer on experimental film who has been working with the moving image since the 1960s. His work explores the relationship between media, time and language and has strived to redefine the exhibition of cinema as a mode of performance. He has worked closely with members of the Hi-Red Centre and Fluxus, as well as Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, John Cage, Stan Brakhage, Stan Vanderbeek and many others, bridging boundaries between film, art and performance. He moved to New York in 1966 and has since been a conduit of intercultural communication between Japan and America, introducing Japanese experimental cinema to the West and vice versa. He recently began self-releasing his work on DVD and continues to travel around the world to show his films.
