Produced between Japan and Bosnia-Herzegovina, this entrancing essay film contends with the essential questions of documentary cinema: representing an other with their own emotions and inner life, whether a family member or a person from another culture. Kaori Oda (ARAGANE) knits together unused personal footage from her experiences home in Japan and studies with Béla Tarr at his Film Factory in Sarajevo from 2013-2016. Becoming a masterclass in the art and ethics of filmmaking, the film powerfully engages questions of queer identity, cross-cultural communication, representing poverty and labor, and the power of the camera. A poetic wonder, effortlessly lifting up epiphanies coalesced in images of the everyday.
这部迷人的散文电影在日本与波黑两地制作,探讨了纪录片的本质问题:呈现一个个体及其私有情感与内心世界,不论他是家庭成员还是来自其他文化的人。小田香将拍摄于家乡日本以及2013至2016年在贝拉·塔尔设立于萨拉热窝的film.factory学习时的未使用生活画面编织成片。影片有力地阐释了同性恋身份与不同文化间交流的议题,展现了贫困、劳工以和摄影机的力量,成为一场关于电影制作伦理与艺术理念的大师班。这是一场诗意奇观,举重若轻地升华了日常画面汇聚出的顿悟时刻。
