Abstract

To date, Fujiwara has completed six pictures that comprise television and theatrical, documentary and feature, filmmaking, Over the course of these works, he has cultivated and developed a defiantly personal and technologically progressive cinema. He is thus a director who has exploded the borders and inherent classifications of the medium and the generic forms in which he works. His rewarding oeuvre deserves to be far more widely known and celebrated, and demands careful exploration to uncover the finer points of its lucid vision. Also includes an interview with Toshi.
