Director: Chikako Yamashiro

In Chikako Yamashiro’s Mud Man, a slumbering community is awakened by bird droppings that resemble clumps of mud falling from the sky. Voices speaking of history, nature and other communities emanate from the fallen clumps, evoking an analogy between flesh and earth, engaging the political experiences of Okinawa and Jeju islands, where the film is set, and the half-buried traumas of colonisation.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
