Raw Hirumu Ura

Jun'ichi Okuyama · 11 min · Japan

This is an experimental film about the anti-halation layer of film. Normally, the antihalation layer is not projected onto the screen, as it disappears during development. That's why the author really wanted to see it on the big screen. However, films with this layer on the base side have been discontinued for some time now. After exhausting all means, we managed to obtain a 16mm raw film (400 ft) from about half a century ago. The project was produced from the perspective of "film archaeology." The author will also be appearing as a narrator, providing narration, singing, and sound effects. Also, the term "Hilm" for film, which has been completely forgotten in modern times, has been revived.
