In the late 1970s\, he pioneered the Contemporary Constructed Photographic Movement in Los Angeles\, developing a new visual vocabulary by constructing tableau photographs from sets\, sculptures\, models\, and paintings. The film portrays an artist deeply concerned and well informed about world events who uses imagery\, storytelling\, and narrative fiction to raise awareness about modern anxieties with an emphasis on the threat of nuclear weapons technology. Nagatani has also explored healing techniques and states of consciousness in which the material world is transcended. Despite the serious content of his subject matter\, his innovative images are compelling and entertaining. An engaging raconteur and teacher\, Nagatani talks in the film about his projects\, his unorthodox photographic techniques\, and his subtle weaving together of fiction and fact. Scott Nagatani’s hauntingly beautiful music score provides the film’s soundtrack. \nDirector Lynn Estomin expected in attendance for post-film Q&A. \n7:45 p.m.-9:15 p.m. \nAugust at Akiko’s\nRSVP\n75 mins | Drama | Hawaii | English\nDirected by Christopher Makoto Yogi \nAugust at Akiko’s is a mystical film that lives in the seams between dream\, reality\, and memory with a time signature all its own. Armed with just his suitcase and a sax\, cosmopolitan musician Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches\, Last Lizard) returns home to the Big Island of Hawai‘i after being away for nearly a decade. Amidst possessed sax solos and brooding strolls\, Alex stumbles upon a Buddhist bed & breakfast run by a woman named Akiko (Akiko Masuda). Hungtai’s wild sax and Akiko’s Buddhist bells form the base for a rich soundtrack surrounding the unexpected new friendship and wrapping around the audience like a sonic web.
