IT LOOKS LIKE A JAPANESE FILM

March 11, 2011. A view onto a drab side street in Tokyo. People are passing by, primarily young girls wearing school uniforms. In a voice-over, Sasha Pirker tells us about a business meeting with a Japanese producer. “While watching the test-shootings the boss said, ‘It looks like a Japanese film.’ We all laughed.” It is the day of the desastrous earthquake followed by the tsunami. “The rest of the day became history.” A girl is spinning beneath her blue umbrella.

This film is part of the special program Filme von Sasha Pirker.
