Fuck Yeah! Meiko Kaji 梶芽衣子 @meikokaji.net · 3d

We saw some great fuckin' movies, we HEARD HER SING LIVE AND IN PERSON TWICE and we saw her shoot a t-shirt cannon. Insane.

Beyond Fest and American Cinematheque @amcinematheque.bsky.social did a truly outstanding job, and I am incredibly grateful for their work.
