Caniba, the film I helped to produce was premiered at the 2017 Venice International Film Festival received Special Jury Award in Orizzonti competition. I had a great privilege to work with Verena and Lucien on this highly controversial documentary film which is a portrait of Issei Sagawa, an infamous cannibal who murdered and ate a young Dutch student back in 1981 in Paris. During the filming, I was working as a sound recordist, translator, and associate producer and remained as a collaborator during early stages of editing.

The film also had the North American premier at Toronto International Film Festival. I was lucky to join these directors at both festivals. Naturally, the film is a difficult one to watch and critics are divided, but I'm proud to be a part of this project which I consider it to be a monumental achievement in cinema.

私が製作に関わったヴェレナ・パラヴェルとルーシャン・キャステーヌ＝テイラー監督らによる、佐川一政のポートレートドキュメンタリー映画「カニバ」が、2017年ベネチア映画祭のオリゾンティ部門で審査員特別賞を受賞しました。撮影では、音声、通訳、アソシエート・プロデューサーだったほか、編集の初期段階でも関わらせていただきました。
