Anne Ishii & Graham Kolbeins
Our friends and artists Graham Kolbeins and Anne Ishii are looking for help in funding The Queer Japan Project which is a multimedia documentary with interviews from personalities “across the spectrum of gender and sexuality in Japan.
From the duo’s Kickstarter:
So far, director Graham Kolbeins and co-writer Anne Ishii (who are also collaborators at MASSIVE GOODS) have shot one week of interviews in Tokyo with artists like gay manga master Gengoroh Tagame, drag queen and renaissance woman Vivienne Sato, and controversial manko [pussy] artist Rokudenashiko. We also sat down with groundbreaking HIV activist, writer, and magazine editor Hiroshi Hasegawa, visual artist Nogi Sumiko, dancerAtsushi Matsuda of the renowned butoh group DAIRAKUDAKAN, and bar owner Masaki C. Matsumoto.
Now, we’re raising funds for a five month shoot (from April to August 2016) in locations across Japan. We’ll follow up with our existing subjects while expanding the scope of The Queer Japan Project to tell even more stories of LGBTQ+ (and beyond) people in Japan. The project will manifest over multiple media including online videos, gallery exhibitions, and a book of photography with extended interviews. The main component of the project is the feature-length documentary Queer Japan, which will be submitted to 2017 film festivals in Japan, the United States, and around the world.
Sounds awesome to me. Find out in more detail what your money will go towards on the Kickstarter page and DONATE!
