It was founded and programmed by Akihiro Suzuki after attending the New York Lesbian and Gay Experimental Film Festival (which was founded by Sarah Schulman & Jim Hubbard) and, after finding the atmosphere so invigorating compared to other film festivals, wanted to start one in Japan.

Co-produced with Kurisu and SAIONTHEBEAT, it’s composed of little more than fluttering guitar figures and puttering beats—a serene atmosphere fit for daydreamers.

Haruomi Hosono is the sort of artist you keep rediscovering throughout your life. It may begin with Yellow Magic Orchestra, the pioneering synth-pop trio he formed with the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi. Or it could start with his solo work, where he’s traversed everything from exotica to tape music to boisterous art pop.
