Wonder
(Mirai Mizue, 2013) 9 mins
A tour-de-force from Japan’s star of animated abstraction, comprising a jaw-dropping 365 seconds of hand- drawn decorative doodles realised on a daily basis across the course of a year.

UK Premiere
Flashback Memories 3D (Tetsuaki Matsue, Japan, 2012) 72 mins
An unorthodox musical documentary on the didgeridoo maestro GOMA, who suffers from an inability to form new memories following a traffic accident at the peak of his career. Directed by one of the most consistently interesting filmmakers on Japan’s independent scene, the film is a triumph of creative ingenuity and received the audience award at the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival. Seamlessly blending archive live and studio footage of GOMA’s performances with his own flashbacks and animations, the film charts the musician’s rehabilitation with the aid of his wife Sumie’s diaries. With its innovative use of 3D and the delirious hypnotic throb of GOMA’s playing alongside the relentless rhythms of his three-man percussion ensemble, the Jungle Rhythm Section, Matsue’s depiction of a man frozen in the moment, with little conception of either future or past, is a truly unique sensory experience.

Asia House is thrilled to announce the full programme of its seventh annual Asia House Film Festival which will take place from 27 March to 31 March 2015, generously supported once again by Prudential plc.

The festival includes an exciting selection of features, documentaries and shorts, including two European premieres, eight UK premieres and one London premiere, alongside a showcase of classic films.
