Keita Kurosaka
In a certain fishing village, a memorial service is held to burn abandoned boats, and old fishing boats that have finished their duty have a dream on the verge of death. Deep-sea fish galloping through the alleys, fishermen pulling long ropes, ghosts of screaming girls...

生きる壁

Minori Kurosaka
The “living wall” reshapes itself into various forms like a large fallen tree to a dying monster. This metamorphosis evokes a fascinating sense of freedom though imagination, assisted by the detailed yet unrestrained paint strokes and faint vocal echos

マチェーリカ
Keita Kurosaka
One might think that beautiful pictures, a compelling story, and brilliant movement are the three essential elements of a good animated film. The word "anima" from which animation is derived, as we all know, means "to breathe life into". And "life" means "limited time" and that there could be an approach that does not include any of the aforementioned "three elements". The result of several years of exploring new methods was an "animated film" that eschews the so-called "animated" structure. This film aims to visualize "shifting consciousness" through a method of filming in which approximately 5,000 pencil drawings are constantly overlapped"

Henkei Sakuhin Dai 2 Ban
Keita Kurosaka
A flash of light splits the darkness, revealing a mysterious image. The images are rapidly replaced with sharp noise that combines wave-like repetitiveness and explosiveness, and the flicker effect that it brings makes the viewer away from reality.
