Founded by film director Kei Shichiri to create and present works that transcend the boundaries of existing genres of expression. In addition to continuing with creative activities that expand cinematic expression such as the “Movies from Sound” project, the group organizes the lecture series “Within Films, After Films, Film Borders,” a public forum for
