Screening

In keeping with the Festival’s overarching theme, the Screening program gathers a wide spectrum of works, from narrative features to experimental film. The lineup includes the Japan premieres of films by Morgan Quaintance and Sojung Jun, together with a special focus on Kosugi Takehisa and the Taj Mahal Travellers, featuring footage newly digitally restored by CCJ and now shown in Japan for the first time. Reaching beyond conventional screening formats, the program also presents sessions that weave together moving-image projection and live performance. It further turns attention to works by Komori Haruka, recipient of a Special Prize in the second Commission Project. Each screening is followed by a talk with directors and invited guests. In memory of the moving-image artist Oki Hiroyuki (1964–2025), the program also includes a memorial screening that honours the time shared with him at the 4th Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions and the first Commission Project, and the rich creative legacy he has left behind.
