An Autumn Afternoon

A short film by Lei Yuan Bin, An Autumn Afternoon pays homage to Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu. Shot in Japan, it shows lingering views of recurring motifs in Ozu’s films—trains, family outings, and children taking pictures. Known for his observational approach to filmmaking in works such as 03-Flats (2014) and White days (2010), Lei updates Ozu’s style with his own sense of composition, duration, and pace.
