AV-arkki presents a screening titled Dozen Treasures at Image Forum Festival from September 30 – October 6, 2023 in Tokyo, Japan. The screening takes place Tuesday October 3 at 18:30 in Theatre Image Forum. As the name suggests, the screening includes dozen experimental films and videos from AV-arkki’s archive, both classics and rarities. The screening on the one hand contemplates on the melancholic and ephemeral nature of analogue formats and on the other brings forth also the exhilarating potential of Finnish video art.
