SYNOPSIS
[EN] This short film was shot with Nikon F2 Photomic A, made in 1977. Two kinds of films, ‘FERRANIA P30 ISO 80’ made in Italy and ‘Kosmo Foto Agent Shadow 400’ made in Britain, were used. Yuki Ito, a documentary film director, challenged a work of fiction film. A performer goes to a remote village on business. After a terribly long walk in a deep mountain, he is told to show his performance in an uninhabited shrine overnight by the priest. While he is unwillingly showing his performance, something comes in in the middle of the night.
