We are delighted to welcome the Purbeck Film Festival to the Russell-Cotes with an evening of entertainment, including:
- A drinks reception and chance to preview the upcoming exhibition Edo Women: Japanese Prints 1820 – 1900
- A screening of the documentary Exhibition on Screen: Tokyo Stories
- A post-screening Q&A with the director David Bickerstaff and Festival Trustee Pippa Punch (Art Department on Blade Runner 2049; Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Star Wars: Andor, etc).
Exhibition on Screen: Tokyo Stories takes viewers on a fascinating journey through 400 years of art inspired by Japan’s vibrant capital. From the iconic woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige to contemporary photography, manga, film and street art, this beautifully filmed documentary explores the creativity, energy and constant reinvention of Tokyo. Based on the acclaimed exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the film combines stunning artworks with exclusive insights from artists, curators and historians.
