The filmmaker in person.
Takahiko Iimura has been a pioneer Japanese artist of experimental 
film and video since 1960. Residing in both Tokyo and New York, 
Iimura has had numerous exhibitions in Japan, the US, and Europe. One 
of his early films, ONAN, was awarded Special Prize at the legendary 
Brussels International Experimental Festival. Recently, he has been 
working with computers, publishing multimedia CDROMs and DVDs of his 
films, videos, graphics, texts, as well as photographic works. 
Perhaps the most enigmatic figure in avant-garde cinema/video, 
TAKAHIKO IIMURA mediates Zen spirituality and technology with playful 
irony.$B!J(Bfrom the program note written by Millennium)

PERFORMANCE FILMS
The filmmaker in person.
CINE DANCE: THE BUTOH OF TATSUMI HIJIKATA with Tatsumi Hijikata & 
Kazuo Ohno Anma (The Masseurs) (20min.-1963) Rose Colored Dance 
(13min.-1965) Live music by Tomomi Adachi, from Tokyo
"Through these films, it became clear that the 'Black Butoh' dance 
created by Tatsumi Hijikata is closer to the neo-dada movement taking 
over the provacative, cynical, and absurd forms rather than the 
Germain expressionist dance usually connected." - Nicolas Villodre, 
curator of Cinematheque Francaise de la Danse, Paris.

FLUXUS REPLAYED (30 min.-1991) With Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Dick 
Higgins, George Brecht, Allison Knowles, Ben Patterson, and Jackson 
Mac Low
"In Fluxus Replayed also released in 2005, Iimura documents an event 
in 1991 held to reproduce historical performances by NYCbased Fluxus 
artists of the 1960s." Mike Leggett, Leonardo Digital Review, MIT 
Press.

JOHN CAGE PERFORMS JAMES JOYCE (15 min,-1985) with John Cage
"Like so many of his(Cage's) initiatives, the line between the 
artworkand its making is blurred, a statement aided and amplified 
byIimura's collaboration in its making." Mike Leggett, Leonardo 
DigitalReview, MIT Press.
