Shot on location in 2020 and long overdue for a stateside release, Masaki Hosokawa's BONI: the welcoming fire is a hybrid feature that blends allegory and documentary. An ethno-fiction emerges from focal points of traditional song and dance as part of Tokushima, Japan’s annual Bon festival— when beloved spirits return once a year. The film is a story of blissful reunion and memory unaware.
