Haruki Murakami Library Image Film: The Strange Library(2021)
HD / 10min / No Language
An image film created to commemorate the 2021 opening of Waseda University’s Haruki Murakami Library.
A young woman’s shadow appears in a library at night, where it happens upon the frozen figure of a young man. His romantic interest thus sparked, the figure’s heart becomes a light which floats about the space in playful pursuit of the woman’s shadow.
Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s acceptance speech delivered upon winning the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award.
