Lisa Takeba – Filmmaker – Haruko’s Paranormal Laboratory.
FRED’s Matt Micucci is joined by the lovely Lisa Takeba, the filmmaker of “Haruko’s Paranormal Laboratory”, which was presented in the Hivos Tiger Awards Competition at the 44th International Film Festival Rotterdam. Lisa tells us about how she allowed her colourful style to be influenced by cartoons. She talks about other influences, some of which came from her own family, and gives us an insight into her vivid imaginationa and how she likes to keep track of it in order to then let it loose in her entertaining films.
Plot: The craziness of our times, depicted through old television shows. Haruko is a girl who prefers to cuddle up to her old-fashioned TV set. In this wondrous story, a television can transform into a man: and this is by no means the end of the strange cheerfulness. A masterpiece of the imagination.
