Written, directed, and edited by New York City-based Takuma Matsuda, the one-person short “A Girl in the Elevator” follows the week of a woman living in a Japanese apartment block. During the course of the week we see her entering and exiting the elevator with different expressions on her face. Happiness, sadness, insecurity, boredom, tiredness, and love. The cramped setting inside the small lift leads to a scary encounter with a neighbor that indicates the overall problem of sexual harassment of women in situations like these.
“A Girl in the Elevator” Screened at the All Asian Independent Film Festival
Accompanied with the urban soundscape of horns, alarm signals, and heavy traffic, the crystal clear sound design, also done by Matsuda, illustrastes a realistic atmosphere of the hectic city life taking place outside the image. Inside the shown semi-private space occurs an interesting gap between two worlds acting as a kind of airlock.
