Generator

An immersive, abstract meditation on disaster and inner reflection, demanding patience as it unfolds through hypnotic, earth-toned imagery.

Directed by

Takashi Makino

Overview

Takashi Makino’s source of inspiration, our place in the world and the universe, never seems to dry up in view of the never-ending flow of immersive films. Generator may well be the earthiest of his films so far, made as a reaction to the Fukushima disaster. A reality check, but in the world that Makino shows, this can never be achieved without looking inwards too.

How it feels

Eerie, melancholic and dark. Slow-burning and demanding.

About

Environment, nature, identity, isolation
