Cinephilia Now: Part III – Lux Crawler I++
“The third part of the series focuses on western Tottori. There is a strong sense of community among the organisations that are active in the area. Not only do members gather on the days of the events, but they regularly share their passion and are quick to offer a helping hand. Viewing experiences consist of more than just the featured film or video. There are parts of it that can’t be quantified, so I hurried to make note of them before they faded from memory.” Sasaki Yusuke

The Businessman
In 1976, while he was taking his grandchildren to school, a businessman was kidnapped by a guerrilla organization. Two months later, the army broke into the house in which he was being held captive in order to release him. That same day, one of the guerrillas was abducted and disappeared by the civic-military dictatorship. Decades later, the director of this film, and the son of that guerrilla man, meets to talk with the businessman’s son and grandsons. The Businessman is made up of talks, but also of magazines, poster, flyers, photographs, newspapers, ads, home movies and objects that are also the testimony of a time; its editing makes personal memories intertwine with the story, and in it, the question of the relationship between who’s filming and who’s being filmed becomes inescapable.
