In the 1990s, in Chengdu, various small traders and vendors bustled through the streets and alleys, each with their own unique style and distinctive calls, selling a variety of small goods. The camera captures these vendors, some of whom have been selling their wares on the streets for decades. They either turn their product information into unique songs or use rhythmic beats from the instruments they carry as accompaniment. These calls, sometimes near and sometimes distant, resound amidst the bustling crowd, showcasing the distinct characteristics of ethnomusicology. With the advent of globalization and rapid economic development, Chengdu is inevitably transitioning from tradition to modernization. Skyscrapers and modern commercial shopping centers are on the rise and traditional street vending will gradually disappear. This film documents the swan song of traditional street calls as they're slowly engulfed by the tide of modernization.

It's me, Granny. When she opens the door, she finds a zombie, Little Red Riding Hood. Once upon a time..." The title of the picture book is "Red Riding Hood". But it's about two old women, a wizard and a fortune-teller, who are fighting each other. The fortune-teller's granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, dies of the plague as soon as she comes out - and she's not the only one. But that's where her success comes in. Dug up in the middle of her decay by a wizard, Little Red Riding Hood is resurrected as a zombie with the brains of a goat. Her only order is to kill her grandmother, but when she learns the smell of blood and the pleasure of killing, there's no stopping her. This is an immoral fairy tale for adults, animated with exquisite models. The puppets, with their European gloom, match the content of the story too well.

Born in 1964, graduated from Tama Art University with a degree in art. During his college years, he formed an indie band with his classmates and performed for several years before studying under Sakumi Hagiwara and beginning to make films. In his early works, he created numerous pieces using a structural style that manipulated light, objects, and even the film itself through frame-by-frame editing. Eventually, his works began to incorporate narrative elements and shifted toward analyzing his own inner world. In 1994, the premiere screening of "Cat Ears" (1994) at the East Gallery in Ebisu achieved record attendance. Additionally, he has collaborated with performance units and directed the video opera "Satyricon" (2004), consistently exploring boundary-crossing visual expressions.
