Chill point out period (1984)

Synopsis

So, what exactly were we doing with this work? To put it simply, we tried to see if we could do something similar to musical improvisation in film.In musical improvisation, some performers play instruments, others voice, and sometimes even dancers join in, creating a unique expression through the collaboration of these expressive acts, which could be described as a kind of friendly competition on the spot.In film, there was a "convention" to construct a work based on a "blueprint" called a concept, whether it was a scenario for a commercial film or an experimental film.This film is an attempt to break away from that style, and together with the staff and actors with whom I have worked on several other films, I explored a free jazz-like approach to making a film through a session.I didn't want to keep shooting indefinitely, so I decided to shoot from March 1st to March 10th, 1984.
