TOKYO TOILETS
Do public toilets make for a good film? Wim Wenders seemed to think so!
Back in 2020, when Tokyo was supposed to host the Summer Olympics, they invited several artists to spruce up a number of public toilets in the capital, turning them almost into art installations. Then the pandemic happened, the Olympics were postponed and the fabulous toilets just stood there.
An invitation to film makers to make a documentary about them, so that they would at least be acknowledged, led to said director Wim Wenders creating a full feature film.
The result was a warm-hearted, thoughtful portrait of life, how there is happiness to be found in simple things, in a daily routine, in little moments of sunshine.
And all that is coming to you on the 21st of February, so we’ll see you then!
