Filmmaker Tomonari Nishikawa at the VSW Salon February 9th
January 26 – On February 9, filmmaker Tomonari Nishikawa (Japan/USA) will present a program of his experimental films at the VSW Salon, and discuss his process-based approach to visual and temporal composition. Nishikawa’s intricate cinematic technique weaves time and space into graphic patterns, undulating rhythms and colorful forms, resulting in an expansive perceptual experience of often familiar subjects. This program will include films shown in 16mm, Super 8 and digital formats.
