Between Yesterday and Tomorrow
企画について

In late March 2011, I created one work based on the instruction sheet from "BETWEEN YESTERDAY& TOMORROW"; a self-written instruction to create the visual experience of gazing at the present while superimposing the past and future in five-minute improvisation format. As I was finishing my work, I decided to publish the “BYT” series on the Internet, and asked my trusted filmmakers to contribute. I didn't intend to theme in Japan Earthquake.

Where and what you film is up to the filmmakers. Films shot in all over Japan were posted online from April to June. In the end, there are 26 works. As 2nd project, 8 filmmakers shot their version of "BYT" on August 31st and September 11th. In October, we decided to have "BYT" be screened Yamagata International Film Festival as omnibus movie. Kobe Film Museum will feature new "BYT" works by Kobe related filmmakers. These new works will also be available on this website.

In this website, you can find films through location or dates, as well as finding news of that particular day the film was shot. I hope this project will be the new form of experimentation in documentary/visual expression.
