KAWASE Naomi / 1992 / 8mm / color / 40min.
　
The filmmaker, who has never known her father, begins a “father search.” Having begun this search against the objections of the grandmother who raised her, her only clue is her family register. Struggling against the “weight of facts,” her process of agonizing over and squeezing out “what can be talked about” as she walks toward her destination gives rise to the film’s style. (From the IFF 1993 catalogue).
