Four girls have graduated high school and are interviewed about their experiences.
At the beginning of the film, the filmmaker begins to talk to the camera. I don't know what kind of film I'm going to make, but I'm going to make it. The camera is set up in a room. He moves into a bigger room and tries to capture more of his everyday life, but eventually, he gets tired of playing with the camera alone and enlists three of his friends to join him in making three dramas. The filmmaker insists on showing a naked woman in the film, but before he can make up his mind, the camera returns to his room, where he struggles to make a film, and, unable to process it as his own expression, he calmly accepts his awkwardness. In this way, the audience can see the growth of the artist. In this two-hour film, the audience experiences unique complicity with the artist's growth.

Impressionistic silent short film (also known as ‘Kaze. Ippun yonjûbyô’) created by 17-year-old high school student Shinozuka Tsutomu. The animation, which won the Debut Prize at the inaugural Hiroshima International Animation Festival in 1985, shows a group of samurai racing at breathtaking speed across golden meadows. The film stands out for its visceral sense of motion and extraordinary dynamism, as has been confirmed by jury member Kawamoto Kihachirō, who noted that you can almost feel the force of the wind. The focus on ‘wind’, speed and warriors elegantly evokes a famous military maxim by Sun Tzu: ‘Your swiftness shall resemble the wind’. It is the first of four tenets of Fūrinkazan (風林火山, lit. ‘Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain’), a legendary Japanese battle standard drawn from Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’. Warriors should also be ‘as calm and orderly as forests, as fierce as fire, and as steadfast as mountains’.
Three high school students are running through their adolescence, feeling frustrated and empty at the reality of being 18 years old.

Sarushima Island lies off the coast of Yokosuka Port. In the late Edo Period the island was outfitted with artillery and in the Meiji period a fort was constructed by the Army. After Japan’s defeat in the war, it was opened as a sea park and young people began to make it a destination. Noda visited it to shoot in black and white in 1968, and in color in 1983. In excluding human figures from the screen and filming ruins and graffiti in their materiality, he experiments at creating a visual poem.

Crystal unfolds as a series of evocative, non-linear vignettes where fleeting images and sensations merge into a meditation on memory and time. A solitary figure moves through shifting urban and natural landscapes—fragments of childhood recollections, dreamlike encounters, and dissolving reflections in water or glass. Objects transform unexpectedly - a lantern flickers into a memory, a stranger’s face blurs into light - blurring boundaries between past and present.

A Japanese short film
When her older sister disappears, she meets the man she left behind every night. When her parents don't come home from work, they sit in the kitchen and have an idle conversation. The man asks her to eat a clam. A woman mumbles, "I have sand all over me", and scours the kitchen floor like a mollusk. The man wipes the woman's neck when she asks him to wipe off the sand. The camera lingers on the faces of the two men and the rummaging in the sink as they mutter idle conversations about sand. This is a dense cinematic space, where the hot, rough texture of the sand makes your whole body tingle. The coquettishness of the woman's hair, her neck, her lips, her tongue, her gestures and her voice, captured by the gazing camera, is an intense eroticism. This is a work of high perfection in which the artist's unique world of sensuality is penetrated.
