Japanese Avant-garde and Experimental Film Festival are very excited to announce their full programme for JAEFF 2021: Bodies. Curated alongside the delayed 2020 Olympics, this year’s festival aims to explore the human body – in motion, at rest, in agony and in ecstasy.
Tickets go on sale to Barbican Members on 21 July, and to the general public on the 22nd. Stay tuned to our socials for further info (and links!).
JAEFF look forward to seeing you this Autumn!
