知の解放知の冒険知の祝祭東京大学学問の過去・現在・未来 (1997)

A university PR film produced on the occasion of film critic Shigehiko Hasumi’s appointment as president of the University of Tokyo. Natsume Sōseki’s Sanshirō, from which the Sanshirō Pond on the Hongo campus takes its name, intricately intersects with the contemporary university space. Scattered throughout are diverse cinematic techniques and motifs, while the enigmatic smile of a woman with a parasol lures viewers into a strange and uncanny world.
