Yadorigi: A Village in Portraits (2011)

A short documentary about some bohemian characters in a small village in rural Japan, shot in Kanagawa in February 2011. It follows three compelling characters: a junk collector, an organic farmer and a circus trainer, each with their own philosophies on life. Through their portrayal we learn more about the village, Yadorigi, and the positive and negative aspects to rural living in Japan. Music by Icelandic band Amiina
