Associations of Silverpencils
This is a film about a medium approaching extinction, an 8mm documentary film about a vanishing 8mm cinema. Blending two genres, the science film and the personal film, and benefiting from the participation of multiple generations of cineastes, it is a reflection upon the original cinematic experience.
Palm Forest at Night
Director
As part of the street observation work, I was working on collecting and arranging the number of the beast 666 in the city. Then, I realized that it was boring and decided to return to the drama for the first time in a while. Chepki, a woman who investigates the lot number where 6s are lined up, and Lucani, a middle-aged cosplay fetish man who is a driver while questioning the certainty of her head. The strange behavior and behavior of the woman finally leaves the woman behind in the river. At the base of the motif is Ferrini's "Michi".

Director
GOOTARIPUTRA
Director
This is an 8mm film shot and edited from 1996 to 1999. There is no story development like a normal story movie, and the image of only the author = the hero like a diary movie continues. There are no lines. The heroine-like existence is a dingy female stray cat. Still, I tried to brew and elaborate how to make a movie time of about one hour, like walking a tightrope, but over a long period of time. As a reference motif, there is Isao Yamada's early work "Yomado". The title "Gootariputra" is not a word with a specific meaning, but is just a coined word of Lazy way of life.
A Port in Vain
Director
Dreamed Lion Dreaming
Director

Guiding Star
In April 1985, I started to make a film with my friend Kamioka as the main character. But even after three months, the whole film was still unknown. I started to work alone with the camera. One day, the rabbit he keeps at home gives birth to a stillborn baby. As he buries her under a tree in the garden, it made me think of his father, who died the year before. He is no longer with us, but only the gaze he left behind. And so I set off on a journey. In a town in the Hokuriku region, he met a woman who once appeared in one of his films. When I dozed off on the train to Tokyo, she appeared to me in a dream and tells me that I will soon find the exit. Back in Tokyo, I told Kamioka that I'm going to start filming again. I came back into the room, turned on the microphone and pressed the flame against the lens.
