JAPANESE CINEMA DOUBLE FEATURE:
SATURDAY 2ND MAY 6PM
SHOZIN FUKUI â RUBBERâS LOVER [1996].
A nasty industrial cyberpunk flick, shot on 16mm film, in the vein of âTetsuo the Iron Manâ. An independent, self funded, experimental art-house film in the spirit of the âJishu Eigaâ movement.
Film screening and conversation with Hirofumi Uchino also known as Defektro, a freeform industrial noise artist whose background involved working on âRubberâs Loverâ and was a part of the underground Tokyo art scene of the late â80s and â90s.
SATURDAY 2ND MAY 8PM
TAKASHI NOMURA â A COLT IS MY PASSPORT [1967].
Classic hard boiled yakuza crime noir with a spaghetti western anti-hero swagger, starring the man with cheeks that stick out like bullets (Joe Shishido) later reprising a similar role again that same year âMassacre Gunâ and âBranded to Killâ, all for Nikkatsu Corporation.
Film screening with introduction by independent filmmaker Brendan Dennerley, whose background includes a PhD in Japanese cinema of the 1960s and what he refers to as the âdegradation of the Japanese filmsâ â the rise of sensationalist exploitation films and franchises.

Artist Highlight | Retrofuture Experimental Music Laboratory
Led by Hirofumi Uchino (@defektro ), alongside @evil.riki and @aidaneccleshall , this project imagines a future as it might have been envisioned decades ago. A hypothetical research presentation in sound.
Using early electronic instruments including theremin, vacuum tube oscillators, and synthesizers from the early 1970s, the trio combine analogue electronics with resonant metal sheets as both sound source and reverberation system.
Hirofumi Uchino is an Australian-based Japanese artist with a 30-year practice spanning noise performance, sound objects, and installations. His work is defined by raw machine energy, junk metal textures, and a relentless curiosity for sonic materiality.
