Bachiranun

Experimental work that overlays the memories and culture of Yonaguni on personal experience.

On Yonaguni Island, the westernmost island of Japan, there is a language in danger of disappearing. How far can we take the language, culture and history that are being quietly forgotten at the edge of Japan? A semi-documentary fantasy full of life force.

Directed by Aika Higashimori
