Gozo Yoshimasu (poet, b. 1939) began making films with a digital video camera in 2006 and he named them, gozoCine. The 19 films in this DVD were shot and edited by himself alone. His unique vision and his voice will take you to many places such as an old well near the U.S. military base in Yokota, an abandoned pool in Tateshina, the Eiffel Tower in the twilights. No subtitles in English but partly with English narration. Published together with a book (only in Japanese) on gozoCine by 25 authors.
