Third Window have announced they are releasing the directorial debut of Makoto Ueda, writer of Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, River, Summer Time Machine Blues, Night is Short Walk on Girl, and more: You Are The Film.
Madoka is a playwright in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, and Kazuma is a band member in the neighboring town of Sangenjaya. One day, in their own separate lives they decide to go and see a movie at Tollywood, an independent cinema in Shimokitazawa. In the movie they each see, they see the other person on the screen. In other words, to Madoka, Kazuma is the "film," she is watching and to Kazuma, Madoka is the "film" he is watching. In this impossible structure, incidents occur within each other's stories, just like in a film. Kazuma and Madoka communicate through the screen and work hard to solve the problems that arise in each other’s story.
You Are The Film will be screening in April at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and after that? Well, we'll need to wait and see what Third Window announce.
