"In creating this trailer, what first came to mind was the layered sensation evoked by the slogan 'Reimagining F.' We wanted to capture the many faces shaped by flowers and the moon, light and shadow. The camera follows a journey of quiet observation and imagination-like peering into someone's inner world, or gazing through a telescope. Each scene in the trailer is not a static image, but a flowing sense of transformation and connection. Through the SIWFF, we hope these gazes will meet and in that meeting, new forms of 'F' will come to life." (JOUNG Yumi)
