The document, which splices together footage from both Osaka and Montreal, offers a rare comparative insight into the two events. It is believed to have been part of a longer documentary made in collaboration with Masuo Ogawa. These "world’s fairs" were colossal events featuring displays from countries and corporations around the world, providing a testing ground for technologies from IMAX screens to security systems. Despite a culture of ambivalence and resistance surrounding Expo ’70, due to its depoliticized celebration of “progress and harmony for mankind” in the era of U.S.-sponsored conflicts in Asia, the pavilions were often run in collaboration with artists.
