Program Note
An omnibus film which young female directors from Japan tell women’s stories with young actresses. What are Japanese women thinking now and how are they living? The self-portrait of women which depicts their career and love, suppression and discrimination against the minority, and sadness and joy of everyday life through each person’s viewpoint is impressive. (KIM Bong-seok)
