White Hair ()
Directed by Yuka Takeda
Synopsis
Finding a white hair on a head one day triggers stream of thoughts. Obsession, fear and refusal of white hair disintegrate her from reality.
Director's Statement
My sister found white hair on my head last summer. Not just one hair, but many. I immediately began pulling them out. For several months I was obsessed, looking for them and pulling them out. I denied my first sign of aging. I wanted to explore the embarrassing but honest feeling about that moment. The film is structured as a journey through my thought process triggered by the incident of finding the white hair.
