IN & OUT OF JAPAN VOL. 2 is a program of experimental films and video art by Japanese and half-Japanese artists who live overseas. This year, the focus is on contemporary works made in the years 2004-2014. Bringing together films from London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles and Berlin, the program questions the validity of national cinema in the context of those who have dual nationalities or no longer call their country of birth their home. Ranging from 8mm poetic experiments to digital noise, the themes of exploration and deconstruction resonate between the films.
