Director’s note:

We set up the story in a situation that could happen to anyone added with a bit of humor. I’m very excited to share this film with the audiences of all ages.

Every little thing you can find in the movie is all hand-made, including houses, the street and trees. What I learned through making this movie is that filmmaking is full of possibilities. If you really wish to create one, you can without any knowledge and experience! If anyone choose this movie to watch, I really hope it will deliver a fun moment even a little…

Fill and Moo (8min/Japan)

Stopmotion, Non-verbal, 2017

Director: Toshiko Hata

Fill lives in ruin alone. Its face appears somehow sad and lonely. One day, a projector shows up in front with the rattling sound of the film roll moving, it screens old film scenes. Suddenly Moo shows up, and calls Fill into the screen. Board the locomotive and let their journey begins!

Fill and Moo are movie fairies. The yellow one wearing a hat with a film pattern is Fill. The red one, whose motif is a dream seed which can transform into anything, is Moo. They were born to bring movies to children all over the world.They are the mascot characters of the worldwide traveling cinema for children “World Theater Project”, and symbols of our philosophy.

We believe that to deliver movies is seeding a field with dreams. Movies aren’t a vital necessity, like food or vaccines, but they give our hearts nutrition and, sometimes, a goal in life.

There are as many movies as there are stars in the sky, but most of the children we have met in developing countries don’t even know what a movie is. Under these circumstances, they generally have fewer choices for their future. You cannot dream what you can’t imagine in the first place.

Movies are a window to the world. Children get to know this new world through movies. They learn about countries and occupations. Even more, they discover that there isn’t just one way of living. We believe that movies have the power to broaden children’s possibilities.


Why don’t we open up windows for children all over the world, with Fill and Moo?
