INGE BLACKMAN for LUX: PROBLEMATISING RACE
The Hollywood narrative, and mainstream films have always been problematic in how they represent both white people and people of colour. Do white filmmakers make assumptions about identification? Is it that filmmakers of colour are forced to carry the burden of representing the marginal whether they like it or not? Can different film and video-making practices create a new language?
Submissions are invited from people making non-narrative film/video which problematise race.

RUINED MAPS: HIROSHI TESHIGAHARA
Hiroshi Teshigahara stands as a seminal figure in the history of postwar Japanese arts, almost incidentally a filmmaker he was as well known as an ikebana (flower-arranging) master, ceramist, a painter and calligrapher. A central figure in the burgeoning avant-garde arts scene of 50s and 60s Tokyo as a founder of the Seiki ("Century") Group of writers, musicians, artists and intellectuals and the Sogetsu Arts Centre. Drawn to the immediacy and expressive potential of film as part of his commitment to art, he apprenticed under Fumio Kamei and Keisuke Kinoshita before producing a series of early experimental and documentary shorts. Contemporary with the rising Japanese New Wave, and sharing some of their radicalism in terms of form and content Teshigahara's feature films stand out in terms of their singular nature and obsession with allegory over politics. The themes of his work remained remarkably consistent, with shades of Beckett and Robbe-Grillet they returned again and again to questions of identity and place in society, often expressed in strange and fractured narratives. His most well-know film Woman of the Dunes become an international success on its release, attracting the first ever best director Oscar-nomination for an Asian filmmaker and was part of an extraordinary surreal quartet of 1960s films made with modernist writer Kobo Abe and contemporary composer Toru Takamitsu. Teshigahara died in 2001, later in life he had become better known for his ikebana and large-scale bamboo installations, but left a small but perfectly formed body of film work characterized by it stunning originality, rigour and technical brilliance.
