Day 2
9:00 PMWork on the Grass (草の上の仕事)
Japan, 1993


Directed by
Tetsuo Shinohara

Running time
42 Mins

Two men arrive to a green field and begin to clear it. The younger of the two has been a gardener for some time, the other takes up odd jobs as inspiration for his writing. The start of their day is rough but as the sun reaches its highest point the two begin to talk. In the evening, they drift towards one another and reach an intimate understanding.

Programming Notes
On the second day, two short films make up the programme. They each observe desire and pain carried into forested isolation.
