Amidst the profound social change and political turmoil of post-war Japan, a bold generation of avant-garde artists and photographers emerged in the 1960s, forever transforming the global art landscape. 　　The 1960s era in Japan was a time of profound social change, political unrest and student protests. The turbulent times of the postwar era inspired an artistic explosion in Japan, with the emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic photography, "Angura" theatre and underground street performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surreal illustrations and seminal graphic design. A new aesthetic of photography was born: "Are, Bure, Boke" (rough, dark and out of focus), pioneered by Moriyama Daido and the Provoke magazine photographers. Araki beautified bondage and Hosoe Eikoh sublimated the male body. Ishiuchi Miyako captured her experience of American military bases. Kawada Kikuji's era-defining photobook The Map captured the poignancy of Hiroshima's trauma. Master of underground theatre Terayama Shuji produced countless magical, surreal and vividly colourful films, plays and photobooks, Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kioshi revolutionised graphic design with their incandescent theatre posters, Tanaami Keiichi, Japan's answer to Andy Warhol, developed his unique kaleidoscopic vision of Pop-Art, and Butoh founders Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo impacted modern dance forever with their dance of darkness and light.

Waves coming and going on an empty beach. Various people, from children to the elderly, appear one by one on the beach. And, within the rhythm of the waves, each repeats their own actions. 　　源自：https://www.locarnofestival.ch/festival/program/film.html?fid=8401d810-203a-4133-a799-e9021e602d97

Middle-aged lesbian Manok closes down ‘Rainbow’, the queer bar she’s run for years, and returns to her hometown, Iban-ri, following the death of her mother. But home feels as stifling and unfamiliar as ever. The village, where her ex-husband now serves as headman, greets her return with suspicion, and deep-rooted prejudice and exclusion still linger. Yet Manok refuses to back down. To break down the walls between past and present, village and self, she boldly runs for village chief. It’s a declaration—not of rejection, but of affirmation: to live without denying who she is, and to once again take her place at the center, on her own terms. In Iban-ri, Manok finds new beginnings and reconnects with severed ties. Among them are Guem-ja, an old flame, and Jae-yeon, a high school student hiding his true self in the suffocating atmosphere of the countryside. Manok, who lives openly and without apology, becomes a beacon for Jae-yeon, and he, in turn, finds the courage to finally come out to the world. Even far from the days of Rainbow, Manok is still surrounded by strong, loving women who stand by her side. Manok is a warm and spirited portrait of courage, survival, and community. It gently but powerfully captures how women like Manok challenge societal norms and build new forms of belonging. This isn’t a story of simply 'returning' home—it’s one of boldly beginning again.
