Description
Join us for a night of mutated ecologies & the status of animated landscapes.
An experimental evening of film, discussion and art will traverse themes of dreamed landscapes through the immersive realism of Japanese Anime.
Since Miyazaki’s nuclear fauna, underground forests & poisonous spores of 'Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind’ (1984), anime has explored dark ecologies & alternative dream and future worlds in new and exciting ways. Screening films inc. surrealistic transformations of fish, fowl, fruit & Tokyo itself in Yamamura’s Aquatic (1987) & Fig (2006) / chameleon & fairy-worlds of dream in Kouji’s computer arts demonstration Tobiro o Akete (1995) / contaminated natures of Hara & Brenner’s Abita (2013), on children’s dreams & radioactive realities. Our feature film will be Sugiyama's Origin: Spirits of the Past (2006), looking at future human attempts at coexistance with an encroaching toxic forest.
This evening is not to be missed with a panel discussion on theories of anime, video ecologies, & the natural/unnatural survivals of epic science fantasy with Dr. Chris Pallant (School of Media, Art and Design, Canterbury Christ Church University), Caroline Ruddell (Screen Media, Brunel University) and Lilly Husbands (Associate Editor of Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal, RCA).
