Hiroyuki Oki

A highly contagious incest virus induces several generations of a Japanese family to have sex in all possible constellations and across gender boundaries – and with that man in a bear costume who suddenly appears? Only in Japan!

Takachi, a young porno star from a small town in Japan is found dead. His death provides the opportunity to show us his true emotions, and how his two best friends in Tokyo remember him. These two travel back to Takachi's town, Kochi, which Takachi himself had visited just prior to dying. In Kochi, all boys seem to be angels.

The work of Japanese experimental filmmaker Hiroyuki Oki as been described as "queer ambient film," and this work brings his fascination with dream-like images and manipulation of time through editing to a new level. Yusho-Renaissance follows an artist and his companions on a trip to the forest, while a mysterious but beautiful woman follows; without a structural narrative, their journey becomes a lovely but surreal parade of images, altered through editing, filmed at multiple speeds or modified by video manipulation.

A man named Shiki has been sent to a company in Matsuyama. Since Shiki was famous as a baseball club member at a previous company, there is a story about baseball clubs in the company. Ken, who was a player in high school, participated without being reluctant, supported by his lover Michiko.

Director Jun Ichikawa spins this affectionate portrait of the people who populate Shimokitazawa, a bohemian corner of Tokyo filled with small theater companies and smoky coffeehouses.

Matsumoto's last video was produced by Sano Gallery. Matsumoto set the common theme as “Seeing” in 2009, six co-writers participated to directing the omnibus film, "Seeing". Initially, there were no plans to expand it into trilogy, and Matsumoto was also limitedly involved in the work. Later, Matsumoto envisioneds works that pursued the omnibus format, and sets up a common theme of "memory.” Afterwards, Matsumoto begun the production of Pilgrimage into the Memory, a reconstruction of works produced by five participating artists. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred while producing the work. Matsumoto shocked by the earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, he decided to produce a new work, All Things Change, and titled it's trilogy, Toro no Ono Daisambu. The third part, All Things Change, consists of videos produced by Tanotaiga, Kanako Inaki, Hiroyuki Oki, Okuno Kunito, and Tanako Tanaka.

Sex Friend Nurezakari is the story of an old friend, Tsutomu, who pays a visit to a couple then disappears after one night. He leaves behind a mobile phone, and the couple set out to find him and return it. Along the way they meet up with another couple taping themselves having sex. The four of them continue the journey to find Tsutomu. When they arrive at his home, his parents inform them that he was killed in an accident some years previously. What happens next is both bizarre and strangely heart warming as the four friends play a baseball game with the ghost of Tsutomu and thus seal their friendships for good, as all of them discover more about themselves and each other.

Set in Tokyo, Shikoku, Korea, and Tibet, the film uses images of people, landscapes, and even the artist's own relationships as material. While questioning the nature of sexuality, the film traverses the boundaries between fiction and documentary. Various human patterns emerge like a "mandala" from the endless "everyday" captured by Oki's camera.

A tense love triangle unfolds as You struggles with his affair, questioning his identity and desires while caught between two men who change his life forever.

A conceptual pinku film by renowned experimental artist Hiroyuki Oki, which is conceived of 60 shots which all are 60 seconds long and represent an absurdist take on the narrative and stylistic schemes of erotic cinema.

Hiroyuki Oki continues to develop his technical sophistication and his openness to new forms and themes, culminating in a sensuality that is apparent in this Super 8mm work, one of his latest two films along with Landscape Catching.

A documentary on the Associations of Silverpencils screening hosted in Higashimurayama. The Film features 8mm films and interviews.

Oki fuses documentary elements with narrative filmmaking to such a point that it's difficult to distinguish one from the other. The film is both the story of two men falling in love with each other on a beach, and a faithful document to the filmmaking process. In the film within a film titled "Gay Couple Trying to Connect on the Beach", the documentary footage of director Hiroyuki Oki will be double and triple transcribed. The documentary film explores the relationship between the director and the world, as well as interviews with friends. Soon the director realizes that "kokoro" is not what is inside of him, but the feeling that arises when confronted with something.

The main character is a business man who is about to turn 30, is in the public eye, and is thinking of marrying a woman as an option. A straight art student appears in front of him, and he falls in love with him even though he knows it will end badly...

This work by Hiroyuki Oki was originally conceived as an installation with four beamers projecting different video fragments in a particular order. Here, rhythmical multiscreen editing and poetic voiceover create a multidimensional elegiac space riddled with people, snow-covered city streets, and written notes.

"I sobbed today..." This bizarre monologue is followed by a dialogue with a unique tempo. Then, fragments of daily life are written on the screen in an unhurried manner. When the dialogue and the screen are fused together, there is an exquisite sense of mismatch, and a warm and heart-warming world begins to unfold on the screen. The film is a humorous essay in the form of a letter to a lover, telling the story of an ordinary day, but with a descriptive power that is anything but ordinary.
