Nara Art Night
Section
A program with an installation and performance from a group of artists.
Nara Art Night, an artist team of expressionists supporting the film festival who come together only during this time, will once again bring color to the streets of Nara. With video, sound, stage art, sculpting, costumes, and physical expression, a work that maximizes the unique ability of each will create a fantastic, out of the ordinary space with the background of our ancient capital.
Screens Spun Together
We will create “Screens Spun Together” with all of the film festival’s members and supporters. It will be a large screen of everyone’s thoughts to end this infectious disease that is currently sweeping over our world, all spun together. It is now a difficult time for people to come together, but we can still collect everyone’s individual thoughts. On a screen of so many thoughts spun together, we will project the images of all of the people who sent their thoughts to the film festival.
