David O’Reilly (winner of the Berlinale Shorts Golden Bear 2009 for „Please Say Something“) about this year’s short „maku“ by Yoriko Mizushiri
„MAKU is an extraordinary and beautiful film which defies easy description. Yoriko Mizushiri employs her own form of surrealism to describe a world which is both bright and mysterious – both childlike and adult.” (David O’Reilly)
