The Gam Gallery is pleased to present an evening of animations by Hoji Tsuchiya and a musical performance by Koban.
Please join us on Saturday, March 10th. Doors at 8pm.
The screenings will begin at 9pm with six short animations by Tsuchiya followed by a brief question period. Tsuchiya's animations use a wide variety of materials including "cutouts, shadow puppets, banana peels and photo copies" and pair intense music with vibrant imagery inspired by Buddism and dreams, using shadow graphs and natural influences like the wind to achieve his effects. We are very excited to have meet Tsuchiya, a Japanese resident who is here to alleviate himself and his family from the radiation caused by the tragic Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant melt down.
Hoji Tsuchiya was born in Tokyo in 1984 and began creating animations in 2004. He has received the Animation Division Grand Prize for his film "A Married Couple's Distress" in 2007 and Outstanding Performance Award in 2011 for "Elementary School Situation". In 2011 he received much attention for his animation "Black Long Skirt" where it screened at "TOKYO ANIMA!" at the National Art Center in Tokyo, the Ottawa International Animation Festival, Estonia Animated Dreams and Hannover Up & Coming Film Festival.
We will also be presenting, "Down the Well", a music video by Patrick Kain for the band Koban, followed by a live performance from the band.
Koban is a Vancouver based dark wave/post-punk duo backed by a drum machine, eerie guitar, repetition, et les paroles en français.
