9.5mm & I

Jun'ichi Okuyama · 32 min · Japan

This work is a digital compilation of the 9.5mm One-Man Film Festival held in 2019. Now, 9.5mm has become a mythical format that most people are unfamiliar with. This is not surprising, as its heyday was over 80 years ago. For a while, the only information available about the author, who was born after the war, was in books. However, because there is a feed hole in the center of the film, the screen size is almost 16 mm. This unique structure is a major attraction. Hand crank equipment was also used at the 9.5mm One-man Film Festival 2019. A motor that squeaks and groans due to lack of oil, or that stops and starts, A lamp that goes on and off due to poor contact, etc. It was a tense screening.
