A Man Playing Movie

Eiga suru hito

Okuyama Jun’ichi | Japan | 1987 | 10' |

| IFFR 2023

The scenery and people photographed / will soon get exposed to cinema’s elements. / The rickety film is stitched together with threads, / thus further torn apart, / getting shredded. // The movie bursts like a bubble, / and the wandering journey in search of lost movie time / continues.
