Dir: Shigeji Ogino

The spirit of a soldier died during the Second World War is brought back to a hundred years later to travel through time and even set out for Mars. Mixing paper cutting and real footage, this short film is original for its time in both plot and craft.

An early independent filmmaker in Japan using mainly 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm film as creative media, Ogino has been a driving force of small-gauge and amateur filmmaking.
