Acropolis Cinema presents GIFT: A Film by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi X Live Score by Eiko Ishibashi. 
Acropolis welcomes multi-instrumentalist composer Eiko Ishibashi, who scored director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s Oscar-winning Drive My Car (2021), for the Los Angeles premiere of their latest collaboration, GIFT, which features a silent film directed by Hamaguchi, accompanied by a live soundtrack performed by Ishibashi.

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, GIFT, and a feature film, Evil Does Not Exist (2023). GIFT 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.

TRT: 75 min.
