Door Is Open, Come In (2024)

The focus of the short documentary is a dilapidated house full of abandoned objects in Kobe, Japan, around which an artist community is being built. Objects are believed to still contain the spirit of their owners. Artists working in the area have been invited to paint on the walls of the house meaningful amulets, a kind of lucky charm. As the process progresses, in the film you can see the need for self-expression related to creation and the timeless nature of the symbols.
