Focused on genre-defying films, Kani aims to expand the canon, bolster up-and-coming filmmakers and reintroduce repertory classics in context. Vinegar Syndrome's sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAi (a superbly laconic Tomona Hirota) haunts the streets of Osaka dressed as a mascot.

VIDEOPHOBIA unfolds as paranoid techno-thriller about identity, set on the backstreets of an industrial and multicultural Osaka captured here in beautiful, stark black-and-white. Concerns with obsessive image-making and issues of surveillance and consent in the digital age are embodied in the plight of a young woman from the city's Koreatown; in an eerie film about the self – watching us as much as we watch it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaired here with the newly commissioned, companion short I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR, starring Tomona Hirota and Sumira Ashina.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Definition Presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVideo Introduction by Director Daisuke Miyazaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNewly Commissioned Short Film, \"i'll Be Your Mirror\" (2022, 9mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVideophobia MV by Baku Feat.
