Writes Kawanaka, "Video is a medium of image as well as sound. Walking on a gravel road with a camera, the crunch sound is captured in real time. Such [an] observation seems obvious, but as a filmmaker, the ability to record sound in real time was very new to me. Referencing a can-kicking game I played as a child, I followed the rolling can and recorded the resonant sounds of the can hitting the ground."

Pink film directed by Kôji Wakamatsu.

A woman takes revenge on the man who kidnapped her using violence and BDSM.

By re-shotting several still photographs in 8mm, the film gives movement to the supposedly motionless still images and uses zooming and other effects to lure the viewer into a surreal world where a man's "face" rotates in time and space. While using the usual methods of depicting an unrealistic world, each movement of the subject successfully creates a rhythm in the image that brings this work to a certain level.

A young scholar is asked by a woman ghost to bring her back to the world where she wants to take her revenge on her killers.

Gerda and Kai were close friends. But one day, a shard from a mirror that distorts everything it reflects entered Kai's eye. Drawn in by the Snow Queen, he disappeared beyond the icy plains. Gerda set out on a journey to find him, and eventually reunited with Kai in the Snow Queen's castle.

'What I am concerned with in this film is not only the flicker effect, but also the coming and going of an eye-like shape on screen which was created by a fade-in-out device while shooting the light/the bulb of the projector. The viewer literally looks into the light which acts like an eye.'(T.I.)

For four hundred years, the Honmoku Shrine in Yokohama’s Naka Ward has hosted the Oumanagashi Horse Running Festival to ward off evil. The day before the festival, ouma horse figures made from sedge grass and placed on boards are passed overhead by shrine parishioners dressed in formal costume until they enter the shrine.

Set in Hong Kong, the narcotics documentary Opium: The White Powder Opera (1976-77) was commissioned by a British television station. Yung, its associate producer and cinematographer, joined the surveillance team of the Narcotics Bureau to acquaint himself with the workings of the drug trade. This paved the way for The System. In addition to the cat-and-mouse game between the cops and the druglord, a fascinating thread traces the relationship among dealers, junkies and mules in Sai Ying Pun. The title hails from Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera, another tragedy concerned with a capitalist society’s oppressed and exploited nobodies.

This film has a structure like a Möbius loop, where reality and dream, dream and reality, are all in a row, and the loop repeats itself endlessly. There are scenes of conversations that seem to change location with each cut, or railroad crossings where up trains and down trains melt into one another, an exchange with a Polaroid brother from Tokyo at Osaka Castle, or a tennis scene. The artist's unique method and the expansion of images backed by it create a rich game of images and words.
