SUMMARY:Bye Bye Love Screening
DESCRIPTION:Working with Kani Releasing\\, Signal Otter Films presents th
 is landmark of Japanese queer cinema\\, the only feature film from Isao F
 ujisawa!\\nLost and nihilistic drifter Utamaro chances upon Giko\\, a fem
 ale-presenting shoplifter who immediately catches his eye. One thing lead
 s to another and the couple soon find themselves on the lam for murder. T
 his provides a delightful pretext to explore notions of societal malaise\
 \, free love\\, and gender fluidity in a rapidly evolving 1970s Japan\\, 
 as both Utamaro and Giko begin to know each other on the road by way of a
  variety of encounters\\, alternating between surrealistic\\, psychedelic
 \\, and sexual.\\nThe sole feature film directed by Isao Fujisawa\\, who 
 learned his craft on New Wave classics such as Woman in the Dunes (1964) 
 and the Face of Another (1966)\\, Bye Bye Love is a deeply personal recko
 ning with sexual identity. Bridging the distance between Pierrot le Fou (
 1965)\\, Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) with 
 an impeccable sense of style\\, splashes of Godardian color as well as st
 rong anti-imperialist and existentialist themes\\, this iconic jishu eiga
  (self-produced film) was long-thought lost until the negatives were foun
 d in 2018 and restored for screenings – facilitated by director and pro
 grammer Akihiro Suzuki. With a runtime of 85 minutes\\, a new landmark in
  the history of Japanese queer cinema\\, this is the first screening of B
 ye Bye Love in Pittsburgh!\\nDetails\\nDoors open at 7 PM with the screen
