Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015
The Museum of Kyoto
Yasumasa Morimura
This event has ended.
Alexander Zahlten has curated a selection of Japanese and other films from the 1960s through the present day as part of the screening program, with a focus on “East Asia as seen in Japanese cinema.” This program re-interprets traces of how Japan has attempted to represent themselves and other countries in cinema by referencing entertainment movies, documentaries, and experimental films, and offers an opportunity for the people of these countries, for whom the modern East Asian narrative is too complex and close to home to be discussed objectively, to re-examine it as a meta-narrative woven by the films that Zahlten selects as an outside, yet deeply informed and insightful, observer.
In addition, artists Yasumasa Morimura and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster will engage in a conversation as part of the Parasophia Conversations series.
