The
Making of
With the international premiere of Kanazawa Shutter Girl we show the continuation of the Tokyo Shutter Girl which ran successfully at the 15th JFFH in 2014. Filmmaker Kotaro Terauchi, who has directed the previous film, loosely follows the plot of Kenichi Kiriki's Mangas and moves the plot from Tokyo to Kanazawa. The film focuses on the nostalgic farewell from childhood, the photographs of a schoolgirl on the threshold to adulthood. The result inspires all by freshly acting young actresses and the excellent camera work.
