暑く、熱い横浜。6月18日ブリリアショートショートシアター
2016年06月18日
I would like to thank all the people who visited our theatre on such a hot day! I asked the audience if they have ever been here before, and about half of them raised their hand! I hope people enjoyed watching shorts and became a short fan!
Our first program today was Asia International & Japan Competition 9.
Director Ik-Tong Ryo from “Joseon -Korea-” and producer/starred Yurifa Matsumoto came out to speak the audience.
Director Ryo asked people the meaning of nationality and passports through a documentary of a nationless Korean girl. It could be a sensitive theme, but he mentioned the fact that people in different countries have different definitions over nationality and passports. He said, “nationless could mean nationwide”. That was a strong message.
Producer Matsumoto said, beautiful and mysterious “BLUE” got an inspiration from the theme music. Color blue could be color of sadness, refreshenss, and etc., and the short has many blues in the story. You can feel the world of blue.
Special Program from Cannes also saw a huge audience. “Timecode” by Juanjo Giménez Peña seemed to have gained the biggest attention at this program.
Directors, actors and actresses joined the fouth program of the day, Asia International & Japan Competition 1.
Director kenji qurata told the audience that he inserted a few full-color scenes in his black-and-white film, “EVERY TIME WE SAY GOOD BYE,” to show different perspectives of the wife and the husband. He also said that the title of the film is taken from a song.
Director Yusaku Okamoto attended the Q&A sessions with the Composer, Makoto Tanaka, and the Costume Designer. He told us that he requested all the details about the theme song of “HANA” to the composer. Costume Designer shared some episodes about how she managed to show Hana’s breasts super big yet elegant.
The last program of the day was Asia International & Japan Competition 7.
The leading actress for “The Figment,” An Ogawa, and three more actors answered questions from the audience.
The special-effects makeup always took one hour to apply and another hour to remove. Meanwhile, An Ogawa got used to their monstrous faces too soon and unexpectedly struggled to act shocked and surprised.
It was fun to find out that the director insisted to An that he never tried to make shooting easier by using “invisible” restaurant waiters.
Thank you for joining us today and we look forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s screening!
