Welcome to this audio guide for Hasegawa Yokna's film, "Cosmo Corpus." This sci-fi feature is set on Sado Island and explores the theme of “communication with distant beings.”

The film is set 20,000 years in the future, where humanity has split into two distinct groups: those who venture into space in search of resources and those who remain on Earth. It unfolds in three segments: "Future," "Future Jomon," and "Present Day," focusing on connections across time and space.

The title "Cosmo Corpus" translates to "space community." A significant theme is the "inheritance of memory." During research on Sado, the director learned that telepathy was common in past generations, but no records were kept, resulting in the loss of this power. This sparked curiosity about other forgotten human abilities.

Filming took place over several years with help from Sado's residents. The film premiered here, aligning with the local art festival. Watching it in the actual setting creates a unique experience, blurring the lines between cinema and reality. Enjoy the journey through "Cosmo Corpus."
