This art film project is in essence a film made entirely with stills; a filmic experiment balancing delicately between documentary and fiction.

This art film project is in essence a film made entirely with stills; a filmic experiment balancing delicately between documentary and fiction. As the narrative unfolds unexpected and surprising paths areexplored. Together with the two protagonists the viewer climbs Mount Fuji across geographical, temporaland cultural divides. The woodblock prints of Hokusai are considered, but also paintings by Van Gogh,philosophical views stemming from Asian philosophy, mankind's connection to landscape, Mount Fuji'sreligious significance, recent Japanese history. But central throughout is my own questioning about thenature of photography and how it is possible to create cinema using only found images and withoutmovement.
