Fumiko Imano offers a whimsical, honest and refreshingly personal take on the Political Fashion question, using herself as the raw material to attempt to address the issues inevitably raised by our project brief.

do you think it's because she's japanese?

Oh goodness me ! ..... what a thing to say ? .... and do pardon me !
A film or whatever an artist may produce must be able to inspire ... and not everyone sees or perceives the final result the same way .... I don't think the lack of comments has anything to do with what you just said ... a film, a book , a play, a work of art has to inspire in order to trigger a reaction of substance ... whatever that may entail !
I personally liked the film , it is cute and charming but that is that for me, it would be false to say anything more if I have nothing more to say ... but that doesn't necessarily mean that the film is not fantastic or incredible good ! .... it all depends on what makes people TICK ! ...:):)

Somewhat off subject here,but something that has always intrigued/bothered me is how few comments people leave about these films. I know loads of people who see them and they always have some thing to say both good and bad. It just must be a bit naff and depressing if you put a film up and clearly the people who are submitting films have gone to a lot of effort and nobody even has the time or basic human reaction to acknowledge them.
I know I would be gutted !

I liked the way it flowed, I wanted to play with Fumiko. I wanted more. I want Fumiko to come to Canada and hang out.

very interesting mixture of messages that come from this film.Ms Imano looks so childlike and as if she is a real life character from a sci fi novel. Even the pen she uses looks like it is from a different world from her own. Her isolation which comes across in the film reminds me of the way children are depicted as if " in their own world " .
I am sure all this is intentionally and artfully part of the image that is constructed by by Ms Imano, and she uses it very well. I find it reminding me of worlds such as Bjorks, or Nic Roegs 'Man who fell to Earth' .Funny it always seems somehow a more desirable place than our own.
And all shot on her Mac icamera .Wasn't it Spielberg who said soon some kid will make a feature length movie on their cam corder? Well Fumiko Imano what are you waiting for? I would go and see it.
