Tokyo Waka
2013 · Film · documentary · 63 min
Directed by John Haptas, Kristine Samuelson
The portrait of a city: ancient yet constantly remaking itself. A poem in images: stillness, patterns, urban motion. And in words: a tofu seller, a homeless woman, a Buddhist priest, contemplating nature, the metabolism of their city, mortality. And 20,000 crows, unruly avatars of the natural world, sardonically observing it all.

You might be interested in a film called “Tokyo Waka”. The filmmakers call it a visual poem but it’s essentially a glimpse of Tokyo through people’s experience with the crowd.
