Outline
FILM by MUSIC consists of two parts:
“Film Competition for Imaginary Film Music” Screening of winning works + commissioned works
Venue: FRANK cafe/gallery (2F/3F 2-4-19 Ekidori Yamaguchi City) / 12:00-17:00/admission free
Commemorating our 10th anniversary, YCAM asked three composers selected by Ryuichi Sakamoto (10th Anniversary artistic director) ― Masahiro Miwa, Koji Ueno, Ichiko Aoba ― to create “film music for an imaginary film” and called for video submissions inspired by the music. Among 122 applications, winning works are shown at YCAM and other locations in Yamaguchi City, along with related exhibition and screening of works by our commissioned film directors.
Winning works and commissioned works will be shown at FRANK cafe/gallery. What sort of interpretation could serve as a basis for such visual work? Wouldn’t this create an opportunity for us to think again about the meaning of film music, including the relationship between images and music?

Related exhibition “5windows Yamaguchi Special Edition”
“5windows” is a work made up of five short films shot in Yokohama's Koganecho area. Sceneries of Yokohama are projected onto a monitor against the backdrop of a little river in Yamaguchi, while the river, bicycles and human figures rushing past time and again create a mysterious spatial setting for a new narrative beyond real space and time.
