Comment from Kishii Yukino
I’m delighted to have this opportunity to take part in TIFF Teens.
There are many ways to experience a film, and I believe that what we each take away from it is just as meaningful as the filmmaker’s intention. I also find it wonderful that a film can inspire new interpretations beyond what its creator originally intended.
Rather than searching for the “right” answers, I hope our time together will be an opportunity to explore our individual responses and perspectives.
