generator | makino takashi | japan, 2011 | 19' *program change*

rather than making films with my own imposed structure, my method is to abandon structure altogether or, in other words, layer images that once embodied meaning on top of one another until they become unintelligible. i aim for the resulting composite 'image' to be like a nameless animate being with a limitless capacity for meanings, so that my films become triggers for an audience to venture into their own imagination. this desire is embodied in the title of my film generator. (makino takashi)

agosto | phill niblock | united states, 2015 | 21'
