METAMORPHOSE

2012 • Directed by

Haruka Mitani

Having wavered in her thoughts a young girl establishes in her new self, a chrysalis. The girl, who has now hatched and transformed herself into a butterfly, dances wildly. This silent short was filmed in 8mm in Kyoto during the summer of 2012, and hand-developed using Caffenol, a home-made vitamin C and instant coffee-based developer. Selected for screening and nominated for an award at the 27th Image Forum Festival Japan.
