Trace of Nowhere

by Rei Stott

Directed by: Rei Stott
Year of production: 2025
Country of origin: Japan
Runtime: 33 min 32 sec
From the volcanic ridges of Izu Island to the towering facades of central Tokyo. This short as a reverberation—an answer to something deep, ancient, and never fully seen. This is not cinema that speaks, but cinema that listens. It is a contemporary invocation of Japan’s most enduring aesthetic tradition: yūgen—that which is hidden, fleeting, and mysteriously resonant.
