A documentary that centers on filmmaker Mikio Yamazaki, exploring his artistic vision and his feelings towards 8mm film, the primary medium of his work.

A documentary on the Associations of Silverpencils screening hosted in Higashimurayama. The Film features 8mm films and interviews.

8mm work from the 6th Pia Film Festival.

A short experimental film based on footage shot in 2020 that was left unedited for years until the director finalized it as a digital release in 2026. While Mikio Yamazaki originally intended to compose the film's soundtrack himself, he eventually abandoned the idea and instead featured tracks by the popular Indonesian pop singer Happy Asmara.

The dialogueless journey of a carjacker, his young lover and the doll she created, in a world made of city ruins, blue dawns and red dusks. The film material was originally shot in 1998 on 8mm and later blown up to 16mm. Ever since, as the colour dyes faded and the years passed, the film hadn't been edited into its final form. Almost 30 years later, "Like a Heavenly Edge" was screened publicly for the first time at LA CAMERA in Shimokitazawa.

It consists of two repeated images: a scene of cutting the back of a hand with a utility knife and blood oozing out, and another one of a man being slaughtered at the beach.

This is an 8mm film shot and edited from 1996 to 1999. There is no story development like a normal story movie, and the image of only the author = the hero like a diary movie continues. There are no lines. The heroine-like existence is a dingy female stray cat. Still, I tried to brew and elaborate how to make a movie time of about one hour, like walking a tightrope, but over a long period of time. As a reference motif, there is Isao Yamada's early work "Yomado". The title "Gootariputra" is not a word with a specific meaning, but is just a coined word of Lazy way of life.

A short film made as a prologue part of "Deep Sweets Senior".

A self-produced feature film. The main character, an 8mm filmmaker, has a bronze statue of the goddess of 8mm movies in his home, and he always prays before filming, and when editing, he places it above the viewer to be watched over by the goddess. He is a devout believer who goes about his work. One day, the goddess appears in his dream, complains to him about the plight of 8mm film, and orders him to independently produce 8mm film.

The original format is 8mm film (single8), and once the developed film is incompletely layered on the undeveloped film, it is projected onto a curtain swaying in the wind by shining light at an angle with a penlight. Created an effect.

This is the DVD version of the video event held at Loft Plus One in Shinjuku on September 10th, supervised by Chiaki Konaka. 5 presenters gathered with "truly scary films" they had discovered. The DVD includes "Home Movie", "Honeymoon", "Blue Film", "Psychic", "Telekinesis Experiment" and "Reverberation".

This is a film about a medium approaching extinction, an 8mm documentary film about a vanishing 8mm cinema. Blending two genres, the science film and the personal film, and benefiting from the participation of multiple generations of cineastes, it is a reflection upon the original cinematic experience.

As part of the street observation work, I was working on collecting and arranging the number of the beast 666 in the city. Then, I realized that it was boring and decided to return to the drama for the first time in a while. Chepki, a woman who investigates the lot number where 6s are lined up, and Lucani, a middle-aged cosplay fetish man who is a driver while questioning the certainty of her head. The strange behavior and behavior of the woman finally leaves the woman behind in the river. At the base of the motif is Ferrini's "Michi".

Unidentified people appear around the protagonist, Mr. M. No matter how many times he wakes up, he cannot escape from his dream. In a speeding, deserted subway, Mr. M falls asleep again. This is Yamazaki's second work in his filmography. Reflecting on the fact that his first 8mm drama, "The Melancholy of Poplar Trees," was less than a school play, he decided to make this film to see how much he could do within his own field of expertise. He unashamedly quotes various films, including Masanobu Nakamura's "Autumn in Beijing". An interesting precursor to his works " Anti-Interpretation" "Memories of the Seaside," and "Ghosttown at Dawn". This filmwork won the Student Encouragement Award at the 1980 Fuji 8mm Contest.

The scene I shot from my hospital bed when I was hospitalized with a punctured lung (a condition called spontaneous pneumothorax). A snowstorm outside the window. A wristwatch that had stopped working. An apple that looked strangely vivid. Tubes connected to my body. The bodily fluids inside them.
