The Seo / Komori team's creative work sprawls across publishing, installation, and performative presentation as well as documentary, but mostly about local communities in the northeast who were devastated by the 2011 earthquake. Hara's film is embroiled in controversy now, as the Agency for Cultural Affairs postponed its awards screening because of complaints from the family of a protagonist (who is deceased). In this talk show which was recorded before the Agency's announcement, Hara talks about why and how he is standing up for his film.
Here are their films, which were shown at YIDFF 2021 as a program of award-winning documentaries presented by Bunkacho.
