In 1931, the Japanese-Americans enjoyed a spring sports day, conforming to the custom of the mother country. J. Tanaka who was a hotel manager in Portland city recorded the event while chasing his daughter. For him, the every event of Japanese-American people was the important topic that he should have recorded. We can see a lost happy time in this film. However I felt any film might disappear to the history.

12th April 1931, an amateur cineaste who lived in Kyoto went to see a huge festival, SENSHOKU-SAI (festival of Dyeing and Weaving).

This is one of the Sueoka's recent series of works, "Reinterpretation for the Private Films" which has been cited from old home movies. The original film was not only describing poetically short summer in Germany 1931, but it was recording lost Germany in pre-war days.

Sueoka is an artist who creates new works with found footage, and develops the film stock himself. In this work, he uses The Wizard of Oz. By repeating the famous musical number “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” over and over, it deconstructs standard narrative style and shifts to a different mode of filmic experience.

"A combination of Paul Sharits and Orson Welles in a crime drama that takes place in a series of rapidly changing images and illusive movements that create misleading expectations of the scene's climax."

A film with, reportedly, no sprocket holes or edge lettering present (without, of course, dirt particles also appearing).
