Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.

An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
