[KineJapan] Filmadrid -MAKINO & KOJI

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum]

Dear kinejaps,

Finally I came to Makino's performance at Madrid last night. It was kind 
of bizarre, obscure, industrial aesthetics... I was really waiting for 
something more colored... Makino used a video-projector whose video was 
directed into a crumpled aluminum which in turn, reflected that light to 
a big empty wall, and with the audience crossing between this light and 
the wall: this shaped shadows in that wall. You will understand better 
if you see some photos and video-clips I have uploaded in Flickr. 
Please, forgive the quality since I took them with my mobile and was 
quite dark; these only wanted to be testimonial:

Anyway it was quite interesting as Makino take good advantage of the old 
industrial space (the audio helped this feeling) and honored the title: 
/In the shadows of cinema/. (So, Jonathan, it was a new piece).

I guess audience was really fascinated, being this a mix, with many 
foreigners and Spanish hipsters.

Best,
