Short Movie Crash Collection

SHORT MOVIE CRASH 2013 1st Crash is an anthology of three short films created through collaborations between young filmmakers and music artists. Each film combines a distinct visual style with an original musical theme, exploring different stories about people facing moments of uncertainty, loss, and change. The first film, Return of the bad girl, follows Mika, a politician's secretary whose work and love life are both going badly. After learning that her former high-school classmate, now a singer, is performing a live show, Mika decides to go—and the experience helps her reconnect with something important that she had lost. The second film, 柩 (Coffin), centers on a woman who is so afraid of losing someone important to her that she repeatedly imagines that person lying in a coffin. The third, Noah's Boxcar, follows a man and woman who set out on a journey in a driving-school car as they try to bring closure to their lives.
