Amidst the profound social change and political turmoil of 1960s post-war Japan, a bold generation of avant-garde artists emerged, redefining the boundaries of art through underground theatre, experimental photography, surreal illustrations, and the radical dance of Butoh.
Their groundbreaking creations not only captured the spirit of their time but also transformed the global art landscape forever. The film features over 700 artworks, rare archive footage and interviews with Araki Nobuyoshi, Moriyama Daidō, Hosoe Eikoh, Ishiuchi Miyako, Tanaami Keiichi, Yokoo Tadanori, Mishima Yukio, Hijikata Tatsumi, Ohno Kazuo, Terayama Shūji and many more.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
