AITAI (2002 Version)

2002 • 9 min • Japan

The title is a combination of "I want to meet you" and "靉靆 (the flow of clouds, or a lens)". A kind of fake work using old film shot 10 years after its expiration date. However the "film you don't know who belongs to" that is inserted in the middle is real. ​A living story that could only be realized through film. Due to the death of Kamioka, who shot most of the film, the decision was made to leave the footage alone and completely replace the monologue.
