Biography

A central figure on the Tokyo experimental film scene and already a veteran of the international festival circuit, Kenji Onishi has made nearly 200 films since 1990, ranging from Super-8 studies of light to full-length features filled with drugs and violence. His filmmaking output spans many genres, and he has become known for a distinctive personal style that melds structural concerns with overtly sensationalist subject matter.
