FUGAKU 1 / Zombies in the Dog House (2013)
K, a projectionist, is taken to a lakeside deep in the mountains. There, in a place called “The Dog House”, he finds Professor Shiny in an electrified helmet and his daughter, who is now a corpse. The film was composed from words drawn from a Twitter bot, quoting existing words and images. Directed by Shinji Aoyama in collaboration with Tama Art University, this rarely-seen experimental three-part series (2012–2015) explores cinema as a dynamic, living medium. Combining student-led production with theatrical adaptation and meta-narrative devices, FUGAKU challenges conventional filmmaking while interrogating the boundaries between fiction, reality, and creative education.
