Japanese filmmaker Makino Takashi’s abstract cinema pushes the perimeters of screen depth through extremely layered superimposition from which shadow presences emerge. Building his juxtapositions on the principles of musique concrète, Makino’s latest film considers the limits of control in its exploration of memories and thoughts that slip in and out of our grasp. Accompanied by Machinefabriek’s blistering soundtrack, the film encourages us to bring our own dreamscape into the experience of the film.
