First Look Trailer for 'The Cats of Gokogu Shrine' Japanese Doc Film

"Kazuhiro Soda depicts an enchanting, harsh, beautiful world." Berlinale has debuted a nice festival promo trailer for a cute Japanese documentary film titled The Cats of Gokogu Shrine, the latest work made by Japanese doc filmmaker Kazuhiro Soda. This purely observational doc is about street cats; Soda previously filmed street cats in his doc Peace (2010). An ample community of cats has set up home around the Shinto shrine in Ushimado. Some local residents take care of them, while others are disturbed by their mess. The filmmaker observes their co-existence with kindness, precision and occasional involvement. In this humble little film, the ancient small Gokogu Shrine is the observatory of the complex relationship between people and nature. A chronicle of the inconvenient truth on how even nature doesn’t fit our civilized life. This film is premiering at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival kicking off this month. It looks like a lovely portrait of life in this small town, about all the humans and all the cats together, and how they interact and spend their time. // Continue Reading ›
