How is Moriyama's work situated in a broader network of image-making practices across moving image and photography? Featuring films by Kanesaka Kenji, Sasaki Michiko and Yamazaki Hiroshi, we consider the interplay between different visual mediums. 

Following the screenings, there will be a panel discussion that further considers the interdisciplinarity of Moriyama's work in the wider Japanese cultural context. Contributions from Lilian Froger, Pati Gaal-Holmes and Ricardo Matos Cabo.

Curated by Jelena Stojković. Produced in partnership with the Photography Research Group at the Centre of Research in the Arts (CoRA), Oxford Brookes University.
