～The winnig film’s director will receive 1,000,000yen

How can separated people can reunite? This is an eternal theme for people and its society, and now it became even more critical under the covid-19 situation. This film teats this subject in allegorical style intellectually, poetically and sometimes with humor and cinematically. What this film reminds us is a simple conclusion that “Love” is very important for human relationship and also for cinema.

『A Balance』 A Balance
Director：HARUMOTO Yujiro
Japan / 2020 / 152 min

The protagonist is a documentary director with a strong belief, and asking the society questions to tell what the truth is. However, when her own family became the perpetrators due to their family problem, she was placed in two opposite positions. We were drawn to the way she was moving forward, swinging like a balance. Today, when everyone is a transmitter due to the development of social media, we cannot treat this as someone else's problem, we thought this is a film resonate in the world and needed to reach as many people as possible.
