Trailer: Last Shadow at First Light by Nicole Midori Woodford

In her feature debut, director Nicole Midori Woodford explores the aftermath of an apocalyptic event and examines how trauma leaves an indelible mark on its survivors that ripple onto close family relationships. Crafting evocative atmospheres and elemental textures as metaphors for hauntings, hallucinations and dreams, the director delicately weaves the supernatural and the lyrical into a coming-of-age road trip of a teenager yearning to uncover the reason for her mother’s vanishing in Japan. Starring the acclaimed Masatoshi Nagase, Mariko Tsutsui, Peter Yu, and newcomer Mihaya Shirata.
