История

Kazuhiro Soda (想田 和弘 Sōda, born 1970 in Tochigi Prefecture) is a Peabody Award winning filmmaker. He practices an observational method of documentary filmmaking based on his own "Ten Commandments" which prohibits him from doing pre-shoot research or writing a synopsis before filming. He imposes these rules on himself in order to minimize preconceptions and to be able to make unexpected discoveries while filming and editing.

Портовый город
Producer
Характерный для Кадзухиро Сода, фильм-наблюдение №7. Сценарий, монтаж, операторская работа, - всё выполнено самим автором. Проживающий в Америке, Сода с женой приезжают в город Усимадо, который так нравился Сёхэйю Имамура, что он снял там два своих фильма ("Доктор Акаги" и "Черный дождь"). В начале ХХI века город приходит в запустение, лов рыбы почти не ведется, люди уезжают из города, забирают с кладбища останки своих предков, дома пустеют. Главными жителями городка становятся старики.

Душевнобольные
Producer
Фильм-наблюдение показывает жизнь маленького учреждения амбулаторной помощи душевнобольным в префектуре Окаяма. Представлена как работа врача, так и усилия социальных работников, осуществляющих помощь на дому, а также групповая работа с пациентами и поддержка в их трудоустройстве и проведении досуга. В центре внимания автора, с одной стороны, страх общества перед душевнобольными, а с другой стороны, их страдания, связанные с изоляцией и чувством собственной неполноценности, а также самоотверженность людей, которые посвятили свою жизнь помощи психически больным. Важное место в фильме занимает понимание благодарности и ценности жизни.
