  • Jun Kurosawa – COMPOSITION (1989)

    1981-1990ExperimentalJapanJun KurosawaShort Film

    From DVD booklet:
    The works recorded here are made by Jun Kurosawa mainly in his years
    at university.
    The remarks on Jun Kurosawa’s works have been focusing on his
    impulse of destruction, which are expressed in degenerative keywords
    such as “death” and “thanatos”: whereas aesthetical images are
    also often mentioned. Is it because his distinct features help them to
    establish such images? The features can be described as “film scratch”
    and “harsh noise,” all of which can be found in his masterpieces such
    as “NEKO-MIMI (1994)” and “JESUS WITH ONE LEG (1991-1994).”Read More »

  • Alfonso Ungría – Ehun metro (1986)

    1981-1990Alfonso UngríaDramaSpain

    Synopsis
    It’s eight o’clock in the morning in an early seventies summer. Jon, an ETA militant, runs desperately through the streets of the Old Part of San Sebastian, pursued by the police. At that hour, on any given day among thousands, the city wakes up: office workers, housewives, newspaper vendors, waiters serving breakfast, all living their normal lives.
    Through his crazy escape, Jon is also going through his own life story at a dizzying pace. The school where they tried to make him give up his identity, the severe yet serene look of his father, the key, the door, the house, the bed, Madelene’s body, her love, the fear of her wounded partner’s death. The fence of persecutors has closed and Jon has finished his career at the feet of a young man he has never seen, to whom nothing binds him. Nothing but a key. And perhaps a common memory.Read More »
