Light, Noise, Smoke, and Light, Noise, Smoke

Unclassified 18+

Dir. Tomonari Nishikawa / 2023 / 6 mins / Japan / No Dialogue / Experimental / Australian Premiere

Viewer Advice: Contains stroboscopic imagery.

A hypnotic interplay between footage of fireworks shot during a Japanese summer festival.

Tomonari Nishikawa (45 7 Broadway, MIFF 2014; Tokyo – Ebisu, MIFF 2011) weaves together Super 16mm footage of fireworks and the sonic imprints left by the same images on the optical soundtrack. A glittering burst of sound and vision.
