Four Tokyo Stories releases
TYO’s official releases bring four AI Film Festival Japan award films online in the catalogue. In Int.Lab’s Rain, a chance encounter with a ballet student sends a visitor back into a rainy Tokyo street. Kentaro Osawa’s Tokyo Imitation borrows the form of documentary for a fictional portrait. Arata Fukoe’s Tokyo New Wave uses a consistent visual style to carry the energy of a city portrait. Masaaki Uchino’s Tokyo Echo builds fictional characters from young people’s online impressions of the city.
The EISENRITTER festival cut
TechTalkNavigator’s EISENRITTER Confronting the World won the CapCut Award. The filmmaker describes the full upload as a theatrical edit of the first four episodes, with revisions and previously unreleased scenes. The film now has its own catalogue record and play button on the festival page.
