InterUrban: Hamamatsu - Filmclub: Waltz in Starlight (JP)
This film, composed of memorial fragments, serves as a complementary piece to Shingo Wakagi's photography exhibition.
The central focus of the film is also the artist's grandfather, portrayed by a genuine Manzai artist who brings authenticity to the protagonist through his deep understanding of the craft, rather than relying solely on acting skills. However, the film also includes other amateur actors, further enhancing the already personal and narrative-free, yet lifelike and emotionally resonant story, which draws us even closer to the experiences depicted. Following the special screening, there will be an opportunity to engage in a discussion with the director, delving into themes of memories, family, the past, and human connections.
