(I+II) is Holzfeind’s filmic portrait of Japanese shamanic improvisation duo IRO, who merge political activism and a sustainable lifestyle with punk-influenced musical experimentation, 1970s Free Jazz, ancient Shinto rituals and indigenous ceremonies. The work juxtaposes IRO’s performances at Takasama Yosizaka’s Inter-University Seminar House in Hachioji, Tokyo, designed in 1964, with a video recording of their last punk concert in 1986 and found footage of protest movements from the 1970s until today.
