The Rabbit God guides him to a realm where his worries fade away, but he finds only monotony. Realizing that life’s essence lies in its blend of joy and sorrow, he chooses to return to reality. Embracing life’s inherent worries, he discovers a deeper peace in accepting its complexities.

What They Say About Carmen, 2min., Portugal
Directed by Eve Ferretti, Pedro Mota Teixeira
“What They Say About Carmen” brings to light the story of a 10-year-old girl who was born without arms, narrated by a voice that uses a “borrowed” discourse, typical of those who “say that…” This narrative, coming from someone who never knew Carmen, adopts a memorial tone that contrasts with the animated image, revealing the true essence of the protagonist. This confrontation between the visual narrative and the verbal discourse invites us to dive deeper into Carmen’s life.

IRABŪ of the Kudaka Island, Okinawa, 102min., Japan
Directed by Kazuo Okada
 Kudaka Island in Okinawa is home to just over 200 people and holds a sacred cultural legacy centered on the grand IZAIHŌ festival, celebrated once every 12 years for more than six centuries. The island is renowned for its traditional production of IRABŪ, smoked Erabu sea kraits, revered as a divine gift from the gods and once presented at banquets for distinguished guests of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

https://tokyocinema.jp/irabu-E.html

https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/intro-audience-feedback-irabu

 In the late 1980s, following the passing of key highest priestesses, both the festival and IRABŪ making were halted. This documentary seeks to revive that legacy by digitizing unreleased high-definition footage from the last 1978 IZAIHŌ and capturing new 4K testimonies from surviving practitioners.

 By exploring traditional craftsmanship, culinary heritage, and enduring faith, the film emphasizes the importance of passing on traditions across generations, making it essential viewing for those interested in Okinawan cultural history. This extraordinary profound journey into revered heritage.
