AMATEUR IN THE MOON

月亮上的業餘者

Return to Short Films

Hayao Yoshikawa (1890-1959), pioneer of amateur cinema in Asia, authored over 160 books to spread his love for moving images during the 1930s. Years later, he rediscovered a forgotten dream from his youth: to create a sci- fi set on the Moon. Inspired by Fritz Lang''s ''Woman in the Moon,'' the journey became more than the pursuit of a lost project, it was a return to the spirit of amateur cinema itself.
