Director Statement

I made a film “Danses de travers(Crooked Dances)” with my students of "Konan High School" where I worked as a teacher. This film project started as a part of an educational project in an out of class creative activity. All students had no acting experience. The film, “Danses de travers(Crooked Dances)” is a film work made by a regular school teacher and his students.
