Music as Film

Innovative filmmaker Kei Shichiri presents his new project at Shibuya's Uplink, where you can catch the premiere of 'Music as Film' – an avant-garde flick that fuses the techniques of late 19th-century cinema with the music written for Oscar Wilde's controversial 1891 play 'Salome'. The voices and subtitles included in the work are in both English and Japanese, making for an interesting linguistic experiment that's sure to fire up your brain. After the screening, Shichiri will be discussing his movie with literature scholar and translator Motoyuki Shibata (in Japanese).
