Für Ornan

A video on my mobile phone creates an obsession. It shows a relative on his last birthday before passing away. I hadn't seen him for many years.

Dear Mr. Ishida

In 2017 I saw a film called "Hana Chirinu" in Bologna, at a festival. It was only one of many cinematic encounters I've had with Japanese cinema over the years, yet this one stuck with me in particular. Since then I have realised how hard it is to see the film outside of Japan. I have decided to send its maker, a filmic letter through time and space.

Carnival of Waiters

Ten minutes until the new car arrives! Unfortunately two policemen enter the cafe and take a seat. As the only people present, the villains are mistaken for waiters - with fatal consequences.
