Disintegration

A woman searches for sounds in an abandoned building. This stylish experimental film about noise and movement, made by Masumi Saito and Wash director, Guy Wigmore, is filled with stunning natural light images, and the entrancing presence of Saito. We watch as she climbs in lockers, flops around on a hardwood gym floor, plays a drum on her head.

There’s a subtle sense of humor running throughout merging seamlessly with its sense of curiosity and gracefulness. “Disintegration,” was created for a short film competition designed by the Japanese composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto, calling for visual pieces using his composition. It didn’t win, but the film stands on its own as a hypnotic piece, and as a vivid showcase for Saito
