ANPO refers to the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty, which permits the continued presence of numerous U.S. military bases in Japan. In 1960, public resentment against the military presence erupted in massive popular demonstrations that were crushed by Japan's C.I.A.-backed Prime Minister Kishi. A wide range of Japanese artists depicted this resistance with a rich archive of art and films, including many large-scale paintings long hidden from public view. Contemporary artists continue to draw on their predecessors' legacy, depicting problems generated by the bases. Shot in high definition, the film reveals the extraordinary passion behind this buried treasure trove of paintings, photographs, anime, and documentary and narrative films.
ANPO: Art X War premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival and has screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival, DOC NYC, Documentary Fortnight at Museum of Modern Art in NY, the Hong Kong International Film Festival and at the Guggenheim in NY from July - September 2011. It has screened at more than 15 universities, including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Amherst, University of Chicago, Williams, University of San Francisco, University of Colorado, Colorado College and Oberlin. The filmmaker is happy to attend university and museum screenings and answer questions.
