Tadaima Omoide no Saga

Okaeri: Furusato no Karatsu

Mickey longs to visit Minnie atop her mountaintop chalet but quickly realizes that the threat of an avalanche has made the trek up the mountain more challenging than usual.

The film addresses the great theme of humanity’s self-destruction. A wanderer hero takes us as stowaways, on a poetic odyssey, a pelagic drift through an infinite universe forever marked by our disrupting actions.

The film stars the familiar characters from the Finnish TV show The Autocrats (a political satire of Finnish politics) in a fairy tale where the inhabitants of a small Finnish village have to defend themselves against a despotic emperor.

“Aleph” is an artist’s meditation on life, death, mysticism, politics, and pop culture. In an eight-minute loop of film, Wallace Berman uses Hebrew letters to frame a hypnotic, rapid-fire montage that captures the go-go energy of the 1960s. Aleph includes stills of collages created using a Verifax machine, Eastman Kodak’s precursor to the photocopier. These collages depict a hand-held radio that seems to broadcast or receive popular and esoteric icons. Signs, symbols, and diverse mass-media images (e.g., Flash Gordon, John F. Kennedy, Mick Jagger) flow like a deck of tarot cards, infinitely shuffled in order that the viewer may construct his or her own set of personal interpretations. The transistor radio, the most ubiquitous portable form of mass communication in the 1960s, exemplifies the democratic potential of electronic culture and may serve as a metaphor for Jewish mysticism.

On the motives of Saltikov-Shedrin’s fairy tale, the film derides aimless and senseless being.

They happen upon a horse race and accidentally enter; the horse is merely plodding along until it gets stung again.
