About the filmmaker:
Motoharu Jonouchi was one of the leaders of the Nihon University Film Studies Club and the legendary VAN Film Research Centre where artists enacted cross-disciplinary collaborations to explore the art of film. Jonouchi, also the assistant director on Hiroshi Teshigahara’s feature-debut Pitfall (1962), picked up his camera to record artistic events, such as ‘happening’ art by Hi-Red Centre in Hi-Red Centre Shelter Plan (1964) and butoh dance in Hijikata Tatsumi (1967), as well as socio-political protests in Mass Collective Bargaining at Nihon University (1968) and the emergence of drug experimentation in Document LSD (1962). Yet what was most remarkable about Jonouchi was his ability to integrate his personal vision into his documentation, creating a concoction of personal and collective, imaginary and tangible spaces.

This screening event is supported by Zipangu Fest and programmed in association with Annexinema
