<em><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Drive My Car</span></em> (2021), for the Los Angeles premiere of their latest collaboration,
<em><span style="font-family:Helvetica">GIFT</span></em>, which features a silent film directed by Hamaguchi, accompanied by a live soundtrack performed by Ishibashi.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;letter-spacing:.15pt;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black;letter-spacing:.15pt;background:white">This project originated when Ishibashi asked Hamaguchi to create visuals to accompany her live performance. Hamaguchi decided to create a film with dialogue
as a starting point, then turn it into a silent film for Ishibashi’s live performance. Consequently, the project yielded two distinct works: a live score film performance,
<em><span style="font-family:Helvetica">GIFT</span></em>, and a feature film, <em>
<span style="font-family:Helvetica">Evil Does Not Exist</span></em> (2023). <em><span style="font-family:Helvetica">GIFT</span></em> offers a constantly-evolving cinematic experience, with Ishibashi’s improvised live performance intervening in Hamaguchi’s visuals,
seeking to reimagine the relationships between sound, image, and narrative.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;letter-spacing:.15pt;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
