New at the Browning
Directed by Alan Gilsenan
Not Rated, 75 minutes, DCP
Andrew Fitzsimons scheduled to appear live!
The Journey of Weather-Exposed Bones is a non-narrative, experimental film-poem inspired by a new and complete translation of Basho, the seminal Japanese poet and father of the Haiku. The film is a collaboration between acclaimed film-artist Alan Gilsenan and Irish poet, translator and Japanese scholar Professor Andrew Fitzsimons of Tokyo's Gakushuin University. It is—in equal parts—a cinematic act of psycho-geography, a meditation on the devastating impact of climate change and a quasi 'road-movie' through contemporary Japan following the remarkable journeys of Basho in the decade leading up to his death in 1694.
