Thunder (1982): pulsing, strobing, semiotic cut-up short film



***PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURE WARNING***

“Thunder” (1982), a 16mm short directed by Japanese experimental filmmaker Takashi Ito, with sound by Yosuke Inagaki.


“Film is capable of presenting unrealistic world as a vivid reality and creating a strange space peculiar to the media,” Ito said in a 1984 interview with Image Forum. “My major intention is to change the ordinary every day life scenes and draw the audience (myself) into a vortex of supernatural illusion by exercising the magic of films.”
