Howling

Director

Aya adapts Hyakken Uchida’s eponymous short story in which characters wonder whether they are alive or dead, as the reality of their existence is swept from under their feet.

Humongous!

Director

Eiko has repeated flashbacks from childhood. In that place where she is enveloped by a huge noise, a boy starts running and Eiko falls off a swing. Are they memories or dreams, or are they the present day, or do they belong to someone else? The sound expands. That’s really something huge.

The Night Train

Director

I thought I would only sleep at night, but I can always go anywhere, far away from here to there. A study for the first entrance examination of the graduate school of Tokyo University of the Arts.

We don’t go home

Director

“The Earth with be obliterated in 2012”. “That sucks”. A man carrying a black lump. A screaming male high-school student. A prophet. A throng of children. Sound that sticks out of the shot, sound that comes in, sequencing and cutting off of images, and editing that undermines the independence of the shot make explicit the uncertainty of “now/here”.
