[KineJapan] question abstract animation and meaning/narrative

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

I'm not so sure this will help, as he doesn't directly address the subject, but here's an interview I did with Mirai Mizue for the BFI website about 3-4 years back which serves as a good primer for his work.

Subject: [KineJapan] question abstract animation and meaning/narrative


Dear all,

I am writing with a bibliographic question, hope some of you may be able to help/recommend.

Can anyone recommend any essential - interesting (past and present) writing on meaning and narrative in Abstract Animation/abstract moving image; especially in and from within the East Asian context, but also beyond.
Translated into English,due to lack of Asian language on my side.

Most grateful for any reference or at least hint. Perhaps some of your own writing ...


thank you and looking forward to hearing from you guys,

Verina
