MATCHSTICK IN THE FOG: Experimental Films of the Japanese Post-Underground (Church of Film)

Raised on the works of, and in most cases directly mentored and taught by, the masters of Japan’s first wave of underground cinema, a new generation of experimental film workers emerged in the 80s. While advancing and breaking away from the work of their predecessors, these younger filmmakers expressed a distinct lyricism, and often a sense of alienation and horror. Dreamy, nightmarish, and often punk as hell. MATCHSTICK IN THE FOG includes some of the most entrancing and powerful works of these times!
