大地を叩く女 (2007)

　　Originally studying painting at Musashino Art University Tsuki Inoue also began writing for the school’s drama troupe. It’s this background that gives her short films both compelling visuals and powerful narrative inno...展开vations. There’s no better example of this than A Woman Who is Beating the Earth, the story of a woman who works in a deli whose imagination and musical aptitude saves her from an abusive relationship.. In its short powerhouse 21-minute running time Inoue, as Midnight Eye co-founder Tom Mes describes, “…provides further evidence that women directors hold the key to the future of Japanese film.” The judges at the 2008 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival felt the same way and awarded the film the festivals Grand Prix Award.
