From the seasonality captured in his works, like the first two Patlabor<\/em> films, to the otherworldly environments of Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence<\/em> (all projects in which Ogura was also involved heavily) and even the fantasy scapes of his Angel\u2019s Egg<\/em>, Oshii\u2019s attention to place, and allowing it to be a player in the story, gives as much voice to world building, as he does to characterisation. This attentiveness and patience for place, allows us to settle deeply inside a worldview that is often simultaneously familiar but unerringly alien.<\/p>\n Lawrence English<\/a> talks to art director Hiromasa Ogura and composer Kenji Kawai about their work on Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 At the BFI: Leigh Singer<\/a> suggests where to begin with the films of Lucile Had\u017eihalilovi\u0107.<\/p>\n \u2022 Necromodernist Architectures in Contemporary Writing: an essay by David Vichnar<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 New music: Hydrology<\/em><\/a> by Loula York; Love Letters Via Echelon<\/em><\/a> by Nerthus.<\/p>\n \u2022 There’s more Intermittent Eyeball Fodder<\/a> at Unquiet Things.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Strange World of…Early Cabaret Voltaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Winners of the Drone Photo Awards 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Lautr\u00e9amont\u2019s Apocrypha<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Drone Um Futurisma<\/em><\/a> (1992) by Cusp | ABoneCroneDrone 1<\/em><\/a> (1996) by Sheila Chandra | Suspicious Drone<\/em><\/a> (2009) by Demdike Stare<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A poster by Peter Strausfeld for a 1966 screening of Alphaville and La Jet\u00e9e. \u2022 At Bandcamp Daily: “Caroline True obsesses over compilations so you don\u2019t have to,” says Erick Bradshaw.
