Tomonari Nishikawa who’s working as a programmer, curator and a filmmaker based in U.S./Japan introduce interesting films of current America.
Here, There, and Between is a screening program that I would like to give Japanese audience an opportunity to think of contemporary experimental cinema by showing recent works made in the US. All films and videos in the program have been talked about at experimental cinema scenes overseas but not yet have been screened in Japan, including Jeanne Liotta’s Observando El Cielo, a winner of Tiger Award for Short Film at 2008 International Film Festival Rotterdam, Laida Lertxundi’s My Tears Are Dry, which received Award for Most Promising Filmmaker at 2010 Ann Arbor Film Festival, and Sarah Biagini’s I Swim Now, which was premiered at this year’s San Francisco International Film Festival. – Tomonari Nishikawa
