11min

"Between 1995 and 1997, I lived in Tokyo, where I began to work on a movie about Manchuria. [...] Volume G is the beginning of that movie from then, set in a place that the Communist Chinese called Fake [or Maquette] Manchuria at one time. [...] When I was younger, I had the habit of reading very long novels, liking those in a list like Murasaki or Wu or Pynchon or Herodotus or Fuentes or Blish or Sterne or Murakami, and this movie reminds me of that..." - (David Blair) ---------- [Released on DVD and digital, 2021, 11 hr] Each movie in the Volumes is a different movie, and each is 7-32 hours long. “Beginnings end in some stories you haven’t heard, in a place filled with such stories, silent and packed together in solid forms, kept in a room in a building above a darkened body of blue water that contains an antique nuclear reactor."
