The final film in the FUGAKU series. Set on a university campus, the film parallels a gun battle between a group of people plotting to assassinate the ‘President’ and a conversation between students and professors who have gathered to compose the theme song for the university’s film festival. Directed by Shinji Aoyama in collaboration with Tama Art University, this rarely-seen experimental three-part series (2012–2015) explores cinema as a dynamic, living medium. Combining student-led production with theatrical adaptation and meta-narrative devices, FUGAKU challenges conventional filmmaking while interrogating the boundaries between fiction, reality, and creative education.
