Labyrinth of Cinema
Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi
Produced by PSC
A dreamlike, intellectually ambitious meditation on cinema's power to transport and transform, blending time travel with Japanese film history into a labyrinthine exploration of memory and meaning.
When lightning strikes a theater about to close its doors, three moviegoers are thrust back in time to the world inside the screen.
