Join us in celebrating avant-garde film and video legend Takahiko Iimura before he returns to Japan after 6 decades as a New York resident and artist. Taka has been a member of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative since its inception and remains one of the most influential experimenters of intermedial cinema.
