[*Note] What is previous "BYT 2011"?
In 2011, just after 3/11(Great East Japan Earthquake) , SOL CHORD called for filmmakers to create 5-minute short films based on "instructions". 32 filmmakers participated over the course of a year, and 60 films were released online. The films were shown as an omnibus film at numerous film festivals and exhibitions. The content of the films is not limited to 3/11, but diverse works are gathered from all over the world. The 'instructions' was conceived by the founder, Shinjiro Maeda (SOL CHORD), to create a 5-minute short film in 3 days. The film was to be completed by "filming a day, recording voices the day before, and the day after. Edit the second day's footage to match the voices recorded on the first and third days.
