Visual Underground: Theatre Scorpio & Japanese Experimental Cinema of the Sixties

Visual Underground

DATES: September 16-September 18, 2011 http://www.visualunderground.ca/

Over the past few years the legacy of the Japanese cinematic and artistic experiments of the 1960s has received renewed international attention in academia in Japan, Europe and North America. Visual Underground: Theatre Scorpio & Japanese Experimental Cinema of the Sixties presents and reflects on a body of rarely screened experimental Japanese films from this decade. Visual Underground is a uniquely conceived event, comprised of three days of film screenings and a one-day academic symposium, both of which are open to the general public.
