Nishikawa Tomonari | Japan | 2023 | 6' |

| IFFR 2024

Nishikawa Tomonari returns to IFFR with tantalising Super 16 images of fireworks at a Japanese summer festival. By delaying and separating the sonic imprints captured on the optical soundtrack area of the filmstrip, a peculiar and unique rhythm is created throughout the film, keeping the viewer both mesmerised and fascinated.
