Winner’s Comment from Music Shorts Competition UULA Award winner Iori Fujiwara!<\/p>\n

I am very honored to receive this award. I am most grateful to the SSFF for giving me a chance. I greatly appreciate the support of my team members and family.
\nThank you so much.<\/p>\n

The theme song ‘WARATTETE (Keep on smiling),’ sung by Tomoko Tane, was originally made to cheer up the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Considering this, I felt apprehensive about using the song in my film. I now feel, however, that this was the only song for the film. “SHIORI” is not about the earthquake, but the story of a girl who stands up against a sudden loss and moves forward. I hope this film gives audiences an opportunity to realize the happiness behind living a life without any problems.<\/p>\n

In order to restore the memory of her that Tetsuo lost in an accident, Shiori makes bookmarks of herself to give to him everyday.<\/p>\n
