Two famous films from two reputable Japanese production companies, Toho and Studio Ghibli, remind us of nature’s mystical power over humans.

Mothra made an unforgettable, lively debut in Ishiro Honda’s highly entertaining monster film, before working with Godzilla, Rodan and other Kaiju Superstars.

Continuing the theme, Friday night’s outdoor cinema treat is a double-bill featuring the wildly imaginative, wonderfully detailed work of renowned French animator René Laloux. His visually stunning animated fantasy film, La Planet Sauvage Centers around conflicts between humans and a series of extraterrestrial creatures who inhabit the beautifully illustrated planet Titanic. Other-worldly landscapes populated by strange phallic creatures in the wild, brightly colored planets are enhanced by a haunting score composed of psychedelic jazz-funk courtesy of the composer and frequent Serge Gainsbourg collaborator, Alain Gorguer. In addition, screening is les escargotsAn elegantly crafted story centered on a farmer trying to fertilize his crops and his unconventional methods have dramatic consequences.
In a world of fading sea ice, locating bodies of water is a curated evening of work by contemporary artists and filmmakers including Susan Shuppley, Anne Duque Hee Jordan and Jean Penlev, among others. These water-filled, visually inquisitive films explore ideas surrounding queer ecology and examine how bisexual, transgender and gender-swapping examples of aquatic life are constantly changing sexual gears to adapt to human environmental irresponsibility. .
