Originally from Japan, SAÏTO Daïchi studied literature and philosophy in the U.S. and Hindi and Sanskrit in India before turning to filmmaking in Montreal. In 2004, SAÏTO co-founded Double Negative, an artist collective dedicated to the exhibition and production of experimental cinema, and has been active over a decade as a catalyst for the renewed interest in celluloid in Montreal’s filmmaking community. His films explore the relation between the corporeal phenomena of vision and the material nature of the medium, fusing a formal investigation of frame and juxtaposition with sensual and poetic expressions. His work has been widely exhibited in major film festivals, museums, galleries and cinematheques worldwide.
