4Room 11, Ethiopia Hotel23min, 2007, Itsushi Kawase (filmmaker present)This film aims to capture a sense of the life of children living on the street in Gondar by witnessing the interaction between two children and the film-maker. Although it is about the children's life on the streets, the entire film was shot in the film-maker's room in the Ethiopia Hotel. This limited space allows the film to focus on communication between subjects and film-maker and to reveal some of the ideas that enable them to endure and survive on the streets. |

5UltrasonicScapes8min, 2008, Eisuke Yanagisawa (filmmaker possibly present)Buzzing of cicadas, pulses of bats, repeated beats from automatic gate, drone sounds from street lights…We usually don’t hear but so many ultrasonic sounds are emitted on the street as well as in nature. Some are intense, continuous and harsh others are pulsing, fragmentary and more harmonious. This is another soundscape documentary beyond our audible range. All sounds in this film are field recordings captured simultaneously with images using bat detector which converts ultrasonic sounds into audible sounds in real time. All sounds are used as is without processing. |
