Kajol's Pigeon

1996 • 3 min

Kajol is a star actress in Indian movies. I discovered a strange scene when I was watching a video of a movie she was in. In one scene of a musical, Kajol throws a dove into the sky, which then falls to the ground. This would not be OK on a Japanese movie set. So I thought about the differences between Indian and Japanese movies. By the way, I read in a book that there is a goddess of cinema in India. I guess she protects Indian movies. So, is there no god of cinema in Japan? Oh, but not of cinema, there is a god of dance. I started writing a screenplay with this goddess, Ame-no-Uzume, as the main character, but the Yatagarasu, the guide for nation building, fell to the ground, and the story ended happily.

Iles Kerguelen: l'île aux savants

1996 • 50 min • French Southern Territories, France

13,000 km from mainland France, Crozet, Kerguelen, and Amsterdam are so isolated that even today they can only be reached by boat. No one has ever lived there permanently, except for shipwreck survivors or the unfortunate executors of unfeasible projects. But around these jagged coasts, a history of adventure has been built: that of the Chevalier de Kerguelen, who believed he had discovered a new Eldorado; that of seal and whale hunters, explorers, and industrialists who dreamed of “colonizing” these barren islands... Ruins, shipwrecks, and tiny remains tell the story, and logbooks are opened. All reflect a fascination with these islands, which seem to hide themselves away as if to protect a mystery.
