between earth and sky (2004)
SYNOPSIS
Yoshi Oida, a Japanese actor and stage director, came to Europe in 1968 and has since practiced „culturally transcendent theater“ all over the world.
In this unconventional, poetic portrait of him several narrative threads are subtly woven together, which appear at first glance to unfold independently from one another. Together, however, in the course of the film they create an „invisible picture“ – Yoshi Oida’s view of the world.

the sky.“ Yoshi Oida
„Once upon a time there was a great confusion in the kingdom of the bird. The birds were constantly fighting amongst themselves. For this reason, all the birds of the world gathered one day to hold a bird conference“
