I found out just recently that producer and director Ide Yōko passed away last year. I met her only once, on the occasion of the release of ショージとタカオShōji & Takao (2010), but she was very kind and told me stories about working as assistant director with Haneda Sumiko

I recently watched two documentaries that I would not define as good, on the contrary, they are problematic, egotistic, and unethical. At the same time, they made me reflect on documentary ethics, (neo)colonial gaze, misuse of footage, AI, the ethics of re-enactment, etc.
