Viewing Notes

Didn’t realize I’d be viewing two Aoi Miyazaki films in a week let alone in the same night but I’ll take it.

This is the second film in the “Kinetic Visions: The Students of Hasumi Shigehiko” series that just started at Doc Films. As much as I’d love to visit Doc Films again I was glad to find this on YouTube (getting to Doc Films is a pain).
