Event Description

DIRECTOR: Neo Sora
STARRING: Hayato Kurihara, Yukito Hidaka, Yuta Hayashi, Shina Peng
US/JAPAN, 2024,
1 HOUR 53 MINUTES,
JAPANESE + ENGLISH SUBTITLES

In a futuristic Tokyo shaken by earthquake alerts, a group of highspirited teenagers defy the surveillance systems of their authoritarian school.

This feature debut from Neo Sora follows his documentary tribute to his composer father Ryuichi Sakamoto – and techno music is a passion that the young rebels share. Best friends Yuta and Kou aspire to be DJs but with different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, their outlook and paths gradually diverge.

This beautifully crafted vision of a dystopian and xenophobic city – not so farfetched – urges us to imagine the possibilities of the future and consider them right now.
