Nippon Nights #9: Flashback Memories
May 13 only
♪Join us for the free Didgeridoo Performance by Amber Field before the screening
“God, please do not erase at least this memory.”
Didgeridoo performer, GOMA, developed higher brain dysfunction as the result of an expressway accident. While looking back on his rehabilitation and recovery with his family’s help, animation recreates his “flashbacks” – incongruous images that suddenly appear in his brain. This completely new style of movie that blends past footage, flashbacks, and studio performances is also emphatically a story of familial love.
Directed by Tetsuaki Matsue, 72min., 2012, Japan / English Subtitled
“The effects of this beautifully unique hybrid of music and cinema are exhilarating and unforgettable.”
-Rob Nelson, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The didgeridoo is one of the oldest wind instruments in the world (over 5,000 years old). It is an indigenous Australian instrument that is used in their ceremonies to tell their dreamtime.
Amber Field was featured in San Francisco Magazine’s Best of the Bay for yoga music. She is a performer, teacher, and sound healer and specializes in world fusion music and helping people free their voices, creativity, and spirits.
