Kazuto KODAMA

Dam Girl

The heroine cannot bring herself to waste water when her thoughts go out to her hometown at the bottom of a dam and to her late father. A surreal sense of humor permeates the entire work. The future of this director, with the ability to bring such a peculiar tale to a sound ending, seems bright indeed.

Hiroaki YUASA

Blink

Three different characters happen to be on the same bus. The theme could have become dark and difficult to understand, but within the beautiful, illusory, and comfortable atmosphere of this work, based on the central idea that the ordinary moment is what is important, the result is a visually stunning experience.
