About
Join us for the Australian premiere of GIFT, a new audiovisual collaboration between musician-composer Eiko Ishibashi and filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi. The work features a live soundtrack performed by Ishibashi, accompanying a silent film directed by Hamaguchi. Ishibashi will perform live at the GOMA cinema in two performances on 24 & 26 Apr 2025.
Following their collaboration on Drive My Car 2021, GIFT 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.
