Original 'Compositions'
åå (November 12), 8pm, Iao Theater, Wailuku, $10 donation

Artists Vincent Goudreau and Javier Martinez have a way of painting with their 16mm camera, creating films that are part National Geographic, part art house and entirely moving. Their latest work, Compositions in Departure—shot in China, Ghana and Mexico—explores "displacement and the idea of home as a metaphor for finding one's place in the world." The film follows three individuals, Ji Wang Juan, Alfred Kpebesaane and Altagracia Martinez, "one [who] has willingly departed from his home, one [who] faces an inability to leave, and the third… [who] wants to leave and is left virtually alone." Goudreau and Martinez — both graduates of the California Institute of the Arts—took three and a half years to produce Compositions, wherein "textiles, migration and imperialism" serve "as analogies for patterns of human behavior." This 35-minute film screens Friday at the Iao, preceded by live marimba music and followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
