Nippon Conception

  • Blur / Blur
    The motif of this movie is an introduction manual for filming sent to an absolute beginner by the processing laboratory. For me, the cause of failure in filmmaking, explained by the manual, was the very important technical skill of making film images. It’s like coming across unknown delicious tastes when I don’t follow the recipe.

  • Crystal Girls / Crystal Girls
    The existence called ›a girl‹ who reserved the gender, was strange, warped but beautiful. There were girls who seemed delicate and fragile like a crystal, but who became interested in self-harm. In this film, I describe the contrast between girls who embody strangeness and loveliness.

  • In Kepler's Dream / In Kepler's Dream
    The camera circles the planet almost 360 degrees, and we experience the time from dawn to just before the next dawn. The orbital speeds of satellites follow Kepler's laws. The main technical theme of this work is a very simple light and shadow play in a planetary system.

  • Muteki no Hito (Invincible Mighty Man) / Invincible Mighty Man
    People out in the street, not paying attention to their surroundings. One is reading a book, another is barring access to his external world with headphones. The place being shielded from external noises is called ›personal space‹ and has been growing wider and wider... into cars and the internet. They socialize with other people while remaining in their own personal space. But because they are isolated from each other, they become invincible.

  • Vladimir Kempsky's Film / Vladimir Kempsky's Film
    This work quotes some anonymous footage from a Russian family's home movie filmed in the late 70's. In this film, we realize a strange distance existing between the man and his daughter. The home movie was led to the original appearance by this ›distance‹. And when he held his camera, his eyes change from ›father‹ to ›observer.‹ This appearance is nothing but a cinema of Lumière.
