Biography

Tamami Midorikawa (緑川珠見) depicts the love, hate and desire that lurk within individuals and families with her unique surreal imagery and language. Her work, which came to film after studying fine art and butoh dance, freely changes style, yet has an aesthetic and raw physicality that shocks the viewer's spirit. Having started making films without any knowledge of cinema, Midorikawa's world of sensibility transcends existing cinema. Its uniqueness is also in common with Maya Deren and Ulrike Oettinger.
