Soon-cheol, a freshman, enters the philosophy department at the beginning of the new school year, so he becomes familiar with Bangtae. Soon-cheol earns a living on the salary of his widower, a former railroad driver, and his younger sister, Soon-i. At the festival, Byeong-tae finished last in a physical beauty contest and was always a low-ranking hitter.

After returning from his funeral, Soon-cheol tells his friends that he was a fake college student. Soon-chul can't give up on his sister's dream of having a college student brother, so it's a fake. He had become a college student. Friends do not believe Sun-chul's words and tell him to keep his promise to represent the philosophy department in the school marathon. Soon-cheol and Byeong-tae are the last in the marathon, but they run the full course with death.

This is one of the summer camp productions created through a unique experiment: a shared premise “when an unseen ‘oni’ appears, people begin to disappear” was adapted and filmed separately by each group. Among them, this version is a solid, classic mystery that stays closest to the original concept. It is the first directorial work by newcomer Kazuki Yoshimura, and it leaves a lingering sense of unease long after viewing.

This is Yamada’s first directorial work. The storytelling can be described as a classic fairy tale in the style of old girls’ manga, immediately drawing the viewer into its world from the opening. Thanks to the full support of senior members of the film club, the film was completed with a distinctive atmosphere both fairy-tale-like and, in its own way, strikingly intense.

In order to advocate Taiwan’s independence and to defend the freedom of speech, CHENG Nan-jung chose to express his disappointment towards the ruling authorities by self-immolation. Thousands joined his funeral procession on 19 May. When they arrived at the presidential office, a disciplinary patrol, CHAN I-hua, lit himself on fire, taking concrete action to follow CHENG’s footsteps.

A medium-length documentary shining a light on the ‘Matagi’, a people who have made a living from hunting in the mountainous regions of Tohoku. Director Masanori Iwasaki, known in recent years for the ‘Fukushima: A Record of Living Things’ series, which captures the impact of the nuclear accident on the ecosystem, brings to life the daily lives of the mountain people in his native Akita Prefecture—a region with a unique culture—through meticulous research. Having spent three years visiting the Ani region of Kitaakita District, Akita Prefecture—the home of the Matagi who make their living from hunting in the mountain villages of the Tohoku region—Iwasaki accompanied them on more than a dozen hunting expeditions, capturing their skills, traditions and philosophy of reverence for nature.

The piece is composed of four movements, imitating classical sonata form, and features photographs of walls, gravel roads, etc., which are likened to musical scales. At the climax, the photographs are shredded into pieces and their colors are changed by adding paint, creating a dazzling "visual music."

Untitled is an early work by Park Hyunki, shot on 16mm film and presented as a black-and-white silent projection. Set against a stark white wall, the work shows the artist repeatedly jumping in place until his body becomes exhausted and collapses.

Pass Through the City documents a tripartite performance staged by Park Hyunki in Daegu on March 22, 1981. Park fabricated two enormous stones out of resin and embedded mirrors onto their surfaces. One stone was installed on the floor of Maekhyang Gallery, while the other was loaded onto a sixteen-meter truck and driven through downtown Daegu for forty minutes. After the ride, the stone was moved to a busy sidewalk by a bank, where passersby touched its surface, gathered around it, and looked at themselves in the mirror. The work was recorded on 16mm film.

Walk, Don't Walk captures landscapes encountered across various regions during a journey through Asia. Having left Asia and been living in Europe, Kim Soun-Gui responds to the transformations of Asia with acute visual and mental sensitivity.

This is a small piece that I shot with a Fujica P300 equipped with an auto fader, repeating the fading in and out on the light and shadow in a room at a regular rhythm.

I wanted to make a film about an alien wandering around in a field somewhere, observing nature. As he marvels at insects and focuses on wormholes in the leaves, the sun sets and dawn breaks, and then the sun sets and dawn breaks again. There are many familiar things on Earth, but when they get wet from the rain or when we shine a flashlight on them, they seem unusual, like moon rocks. The film is double run Super 8. It's the same width as 16mm film, but after development it's cut in half to make Super 8 film. It's not double 8.

Taiwan action film.

This year, I was asked about Toshio Yamazaki, and when I did a Google search, nothing came up. This is not good. Toshio Yamazaki has the same last name as me, but in the mid-1980s I was called "good Yamazaki" and Toshio was called "bad Yamazaki.” He suffered from schizophrenia, which caused him to become paranoid and often made aggressive phone calls. As a result, no one contacted him and he eventually died alone, but it took a long time to find him. So the manager of his apartment disposed of everything in his room and now most of his works are no longer in the world. Fortunately, this work, which was also screened at PFF, was saved on a 3/4-inch videotape from that time, and a memorial screening was held of a film that was dubbed onto DV. I will upload this material to YouTube with English subtitles. The original was supposed to be in color, but the color signal could not be restored, so it is in black and white, but black and white may be a better fit for this work. -Mikio Yamazaki
