Daïchi Saïto’s most recent 35mm CinemaScope film Engram of Returning will be accompanied by an extraordinary improvised score by Montreal-based baritone and bass saxophonist Jason Sharp. Engram of Returning is an epic metaphysical travelogue that reveals a supernal world that pulses and flickers with formal patterns and deep hues. Transforming anonymous found footage into powerful, expressive and painterly imagery, it is a film about memory and recollection, given form through interwoven backward glances at the real, the imagined and the remembered.
