Bully [Film] = Harte Schule
dir. by Lee Hirsch ; written by Lee Hirsch, Cynthia Lowen“The film follows the stories of several children in Mississippi, Oklahoma and Georgia. Two of them committed suicide. Their lives had become unendurable without anyone noticing, or taking their situations seriously enough. The most infuriating people in the film are teachers or administrators who don't know what's happening — or don't want to know, perhaps afraid of bureaucratic difficulties or angry parents.”

Nia ikōru Aida Makoto [Film] : mukiryoku tairiku = Makoto Aida : cynic in the playground
dir. by Yusuke TamariThe camera quietly follows and watches Aida as he works, relaxes, travels and socializes. Background information and commentary are provided unobtrusively via subtitles and by Aida himself, resulting in a casual, appealing tone that invites viewers to arrive at their own conclusions based mainly on what they see of Aida’s behavior, work methods and art. The artist is an easy figure to like. He consistently exudes an unpretentious, relaxed and, in some cases, even lazy mentality, comically illustrated by the many breaks from work that he grants himself throughout the film. In many cases, Aida reinterprets and experiments with Japanese art forms like manga, anime and the older Ukiyoe painting and block printing style. But as inventive as Aida’s work is, both he and the film make it clear that much of the so-called creative process simply consists of hard work. “I put a heavy value on the accidental emergence of an idea,” he says. “This step is only the creative aspect, and the next step is manual labor. This is a boring job. No pleasure.”
