VID-DESCRIPT: 'The film is set in post-nuclear Tokyo in a dimension not so distant from ours. Young salary-man's morning commute takes a surreal turn.' - Directed by Yukihiro Shoda, and Produced by Jamie Holland and Pasha Alpeyev, this KIR Film was released on September 5th.
I am a sucker for gasmasks (as well short films, in an earlier lifetime, perhaps), and the discovery of this short film left me gasping with a smile. Visit their homepage at www.blind-film.net and check out the youtubed-video with French and Chinese subtitles here. Hauntingly bittersweet. LIKE.
"Our film imagines a parallel-universe version of Japan which also suffered a nuclear crisis but was less lucky than its real world counterpart. It's a place where fallout readings are part of the weather forecast and gasmasks are as ubiquitous as black suits and Gucci bags" [BLIND FB-description]
