Moyra Davey's video My Necropolis pairs footage of cemeteries in Paris with attempts at interpreting an enigmatic line from a letter that Walter Benjamin wrote to his friend Gershom Scholem in 1931. Benjamin, living in very difficult financial circumstances, mentions a clock outside his window which increasingly becomes a luxury that “it [was] difficult to do without.”

Poster for A Journey of 35

2017 · ★ 10.0 (1)

Five Taiwanese teenagers, faced with sweeping and untested educational reforms in 1996, revealed their dreams in the CommonWealth Magazine documentary "A Generation Freed." Their lives were then revisited in 2006 in the film "A Generation Freed - 10 Years Later" to see how the more liberal education system had affected them. Now, another decade later, we find out in "A Journey of 35" if indeed they were able to chase their dreams and if their horizons have grown brighter with adulthood or become more cynical.

Poster for Arekara - The Life After

2013 · ★ 6.0 (1)

In February 2012, I went to Ishinomaki, a town North of Tokyo that was half destroyed by the tsunami of March 11th, 2011, to meet the disaster victims who now live in temporary housing. I spent several days in the North, under the snow, listening to these people talk candidly about what they had lived through, telling their own stories without the media as an intermediary. Their testimonies were terrifying, harsh and sad, but at the same time touching, sincere and human. From the pictures and interviews that I collected, I decided to make a film, not to reflect how awful the events were, but to communicate the singular and even surreal nature of each person’s experience. My intention wasn’t so much to focus on this particular event in Japan, but rather to make these stories more universal as a way of paying tribute to all the victims of natural disasters throughout the world.

'You lack inner peace, I can see it in your eyes...' With this abrupt remark thrown at her by a woman visiting Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, filmmaker Moran Ifergan is reminded of the religion she left in her late teens, when she used to frequent this holy site. While her marriage falls apart, Moran takes us on an around-the-clock journey to the women's side of the Wall; mixing between private and public, sound and image, God and His absence.

Poster for 2 Cartons of Alphabet H

2006 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Two travelers’ (a Hong Kong independent director and a Japanese musician) motorcycle diaries in northern China from November 2005 to February 2006. Forget all the vital intellectual and history garbage and get down to the real simple, good human feeling – and express it in a simple language that reaches people. No bullshit! (Or all bullshit?) Under the sound of the motor, Yanyan’s visual and Dean’s music weaves into each other; and shows the healing power of the trip to both the Chinese and Japanese souls. Everybody, at a certain point, is a little lost and sometimes we just find a connection to someone that helps to re-inspire or center us. And that experience we'll never forget. It’s a special relationship in real life - a little bit more than friends but not an actual romance. They get each other and they both know it's not going to go anywhere.
