Takashi Ito burst onto the experimental film scene in 1981 with Spacy, a vertiginous journey through a gymnasium made up of 700 still images. Driven by a desire to create ‘fascinating nightmares’, his films seem to follow a bizarre interior logic of their own, endlessly generating new techniques as they forge ahead. This is a rare chance to see some of Ito’s work on 16mm bookended by a selection of his influences and artistic descendants, chosen for GSFF14 by Ian Francis of Flatpack Festival, Birmingham.
