Umi IshiharaScreens Series
Sep 24, 2026 – Jan 31, 2027 Bowery
A program of three recent narrative films by Umi Ishihara, in her US institutional debut.
The program brings together Gravity and Radiance (2021), Thundergod (2024) and Nocturnal Melody (2026), her newest film, commissioned by Gasworks, London. Ishihara blends fiction and documentary, often working with non-professional actors and local residents, to explore precarity, desire and belonging.
Her approach draws on an upbringing in Japan’s underground nightlife and free-rave culture. Nocturnal Melody will also screen in the museum theater on select weekends, dates to be announced.
