3rd "Yamagata Independant production image festival" - 山形自主制作映像祭2004


日本語は英語の後で書くね!Last year I went to Yamagata after receiving an invite from my buddy Masakazu to help out with the 2nd Yamagata Independant Production Image Festival. This is an event where local Yamagata film makers (mostly Hobbyists) put their wares on show for the public to see. Making the films themselves is not enough - getting people to watch is the whole point! So I had such a great time last year (particularly at the after show drinking binge) that I went again last weekend for this year's event. While the 2003 show drew an audience of around 100 to see the half a dozen films on offer (one of which had taken a full 18 years to produce!), in 2004 with more media exposure prior to the event an audience of 250 turned out. And deservedly so, as there were some really good films on offer. Pictured here is Masakazu's living room, temporarily converted into the set of his clay animation film "Xin" (co-produced with his wife Tomi). And now for those who prefer to read Japanese....
先週第三回の山形自主制作映像祭を見に行ったよ!友達の小林さんが代表をやっていて、手伝いをしに行った。詳しい情報はここ http://www.yii.jpにあるので、良かったら読んでみてくださいね。あのリンク先で、僕の写真も写ってるよ(ヒント:受付の写真を探して)。「ダイジェストムービー」もDLできるので、ぜひ見てみてください。僕もさっきダイジェストを見て、やはり記憶に残ってる作品は、「Load」(感動したロードムーヴィー)、「Xin ~シン~」(音楽はよかった!まだまだ頭の中だ!)、「足マンIII ~怒りの足マン」(なんといえばいいか、分からない・・・ダイジェストを見るしかないよ!)「ひとひら」(ショートだけど、音楽もよかったし、俳優と女優はふたりともかわいくて、後で打ち上げで紹介してもらったo(^-^)o)。今年、合計250人が見に来てくれた。毎年大きくなっているイベントで、来年も参加させていただくのを楽しみにしてる!ちなみに、この画像で見えるのは、小林夫婦が作った「Xin ~シン~」のセットだよ。日本語は、それくらいでいいかな・・・
