(TABI TO HIBI)

Japanese director Shô Miyake (Small, Slow But Steady, 2022; All the Long Nights, 2024) adapts two classic manga pieces by legendary cartoonist Yoshiharu Tsuge, turning the 50-year-old source material into a film that feels both contemporary and timeless. Yuta Tsukinaga’s neatly composed Academy-ratio cinematography speaks more eloquently than words. The slow, meditative tone reveals small events that happen by chance in our daily lives, and how we respond to them.

The screening will be introduced by Marie-Pierre Richard, EAFFI Curator & Co-organiser
