Class of 1999 at the Image Forum Institute of Moving Image. No prior
experience with films before studying at Image Forum. This is a graduation
film.

A filmmaker has become interested in an old man fishing in a pond
- a sight she has seen again and again from the window of a train.
As she prepares to talk to him about filming, she must confront her
own feelings and face the danger of filming. It is a strangely comforting
8mm history about a sometimes heated and sometimes father-daughter
like communication between a "nine-month-old" female filmmaker
and a fifty-year-old self-acclaimed male artist.
- Masuya Shuichi
Director's Statement
I think over how mysterious it is, not only to meet
this man and his wife, but to meet anyone for that matter, as I became
friends with people who saw my work at the Image Forum Institute.
I am excited that this film festival has become yet another place
to meet and for us to be known.
