| QUT Art Museum Everything You See Is Real
|
2006 | Stephen indulges his unabashed enthusiasm for Japanese animation in this feature-length talk about the sheer brilliance of an artform often considered to be, well, a little nerdy. Excerpts from classic films such as Ghost in the Shell and series including Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo kept the audience amazed and amused while Stephen discussed the surprising conceptual depth and storyline complexity unique to the medium, gathered around the central idea that there are no actors, only characters in anime... Given in association with the QUT Art Musem's Exhibition “Painting For Joy”. |
