Follow the Daidarabotchi
Takuro Kotaka（Japan）
In the auditorium of the former Omachi Kita High School, Kotaka screens a faux documentary with the legendary giant man Daidarabacchi as its theme. He presents stories of Daidarabocchi, who was admired as a god of success and decline, from the viewpoint of citizens, administrators, and specialists from various fields, suggesting the way local areas and societies change.
This is a new folk tale woven from reality and fiction, based on traditional stories told in the area.
