A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).

One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
