(1) Tokyo Initiators' Diary
===============================================================

Maeda Keizo (producer, Conversation) vol. 007

Last Month's Dreams (Stage Depictions)
Chapter 1, part 1
Several long tables and a couple of chairs are lined up in an
offhand manner on the stage. A group of sinister-looking men and
women, one of them browsing through a book, another one working
with a laptop computer, again another one just sitting there
quietly with his eyes shut. A middle-aged woman dressed in a
semi-transparent black dress comes walking slowly from the back
of the stage to the front while singing as if she had to squeeze
her voice out. She sings a requiem for her own funeral.
Family members accompany the singing woman on her way into the
underworld while holding the whole of her body up high.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Short Shorts Film Festival 2004

"Biting sharpness, a lingering afterglow, and the fire of a rough
diamond." According to Short Shorts representative, actor Bessho
Tetsuya, these are the attributes that make short films so
attractive. One of the outstanding titles among the 1,481 entries
that were submitted for this festival's sixth installment include
"Lost In Translation" maker Sophia Coppola's "Lick the Star".
It is reportedly some kind of prototype of the director's film
"The Virgin Suicides", and this alone should be reason enough to
watch it. Also on the program in this Olympic year are a number
of Greek contributions. "Short Shorts Asia", by the way, which
is going to be held in October, is still calling for entries,
so I recommend all filmmakers and video artists to send their
works.
