Paper

  • Doctoral dissertation "Art and film “Essayfilm theory”"               
    Hikaru Suzuki
    Feb. 2026, [Reviewed]
    This thesis aims to deepen the examination of “essay films,” where art and moving images intersect, and to expand this field. Given that research on this methodology from the artists' perspective has not yet advanced significantly within Japan as an artistic practice theory, we will first unravel the history and evolution of this genre in Western countries, researching and clarifying its origins and what constitutes works employing this method. Subsequently, research will progress chronologically on the formation of a distinct essay film culture in Japan. Finally, by actually creating my own work, I will discuss essay film theory from the perspective of “art practice theory.”
    Specifically, I will first examine the objective characteristics of the essay as literature, discussing its essence and form by tracing the writings of Adorno and Lukács. From there, I will explore its relationship to essay film alongside Alexander Kluge. Next, I clarify the origins of essay film. Focusing on four filmmakers, I examine its evolution from the 1950s to the present. Against the backdrop of essay film as discussed in Western countries, I consider the validity of this approach.
    I divide the era into periods starting from the advent of the internet and discuss changes in the formation of essay film thereafter. Simultaneously, I examine the boundaries between concurrent movements and essay film, analyzing each movement, and shift the focus from the West to Asia. I touch on the dawn of Japanese artists beginning to use video as a medium, then focus on tracing the evolution of Japanese artists' activities by decade thereafter.
    Building on the above, I develop my own essay film theory. I set the Great East Japan Earthquake as the first term, then introduce my encounter with essay film in Germany. I proceed to present screenings of works by artists whose essay films I independently curated. Here, I include essay film theories articulated by others. Finally, I will introduce the attempt made in the essay film work ‘FUKUSHIMA BERLIN Background 2011-2025’, produced alongside this thesis, and conclude by focusing on documentary and essay film.
  • Survey thesis, “An Examination of the Development of Essay Films in the Western and Non-Western Worlds.”
    Hikaru Suzuki
    Bulletin of the Graduate School of Film and New Media Studies, Tokyo University of the Arts ., Oct. 2024, [Reviewed]
    The purpose of this paper is to deepen our discussion of “essay film” and to expand the scope of this field. Given the fact that research on this method has not yet progressed much in Japan, we will begin by unraveling the history and transition of this genre in Western countries, and research and clarify the origins and what works use this method in the relevant works. This genre is considered a hybrid genre that straddles the line between documentary and fiction, and one might marvel at its ability to kill two birds with one stone, but in fact there are pitfalls in the postmodernist way of thinking. However, there are actually pitfalls in postmodernist thinking, and when we attempt to give form to something, we run the risk of it disintegrating into pieces without taking form due to its immature form. Finally, we will study the possibility of using this method to give form to a work of art from the perspective of “artistic practice theory” by actually producing our own work.
    In the first chapter, we will explore the originality of the essay as literature and what kind of character it has objectively. It discusses the composition of the essay, its similarity to painting in composition, the end and contours of composition, its relationship to rhetoric, its self-reflexivity, and its relationship to lyric poetry.
    In Chapter 2, the origins of the essay film will be clarified. It also deepens the discussion of its formation from a technical perspective, discussing the classical works of the documentary and avant-garde to the formation of the essay film. From there, we focus on four artists and examine their transition from the 1950s to the present.
    Chapter 3 explores the history of the development of essay films unique to Japan, rather than assuming that they are contextualized against the backdrop of essay films as discussed in Western countries.
    In Chapter 4, based on Chapters 1-3, we discuss essay films made at the intersection of these two, focusing on their relationship with diary films and the methods of cinéma vérité, which I further studied in graduate school.
    In Chapter V, based on the above, I discuss the original attempts of my work.
  • Master's Thesis "Cinema Verite Today - Ms. A's Movie "Anrakuto" -"               
    Feb. 2011
    There is a production method called “cinéma vérité,” in which the filmmaker is actively involved with the subject and the process of filmmaking is documented. Jean Rouch, a French anthropologist and film director, invented this method in the late 1960s, and it greatly influenced the “Nouvelle Vague,” a new wave of film movement that took place in the same period. Thinking from there, he explored cinéma vérité as a production method in the modern age. By overlapping this theme with his own attempt at a film, “Anrakujima,” he responded to the question, "What is a cinéma-vérité work of our time? The discussion took the form of a response to the question, "What is a cinéma vérité work of art today?

    Teikyo Heisei University Bulletin Volume 37, Mar. 2026
    This paper focuses not on mainstream, high-profile films, but on diverse “documentary films” and“documentary works as art” that carry smaller voices. Specifically, it examines works screened in arthouse theaters and independent screenings, as well as those highly acclaimed at film festivals yet never shown in such venues, questioning their modes of expression. It also raises the issue of the scarcity of spaces for developing these works. To think about art through the method of documentary, it traces the ideas of American political scientist Nancy Fraser on the counter-public sphere andphilosopher Hannah Arendt's thinking, arguing for the importance of art from the perspectiveof publicness. Finally, using examples of practical social action reports describing the methodsimplemented to solve problems, we discuss the significance of screening works in progress and thevalue of alternative approaches to creating unpackaged works from the perspective of art practicetheory.

    Inoue Shinta is a flat-surface artist who has been working on “Project Shepherd” in and out of Japan since 1998. He’s a shepherd who wanders through cities that are defined by the words of taxi drivers and barbershop owners; pushing around his cart, tending to faceless and grazing 2-D sheep, one of which becomes lost and overhears various people talking about where they would like to live. While the film goes in search of a subtle form of communication, the scenery of Shinjuku and Ogaki takes shape according to a perfectly matched score created by the directors., Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival

  • Screening and Talk Session: “Contemporary Art and Essay Film”
    29 Nov. 2025, Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Film and New Media RAM Association, [Invited]
    Screening and Talk Session: “Contemporary Art and Essay Film” is an attempt to reexamine film not merely as a “work,” but as a “form for thinking (art form).”
    For instance, it involves not merely recording the world through a camera, but embedding questions like “Why does it appear this way?” and “How should this event be narrated?” into the very fabric of the moving image itself. This is the expression known as “essay film.”
    The new work by filmmaker Hikaru Suzuki, FUKUSHIMA BERLIN: Background 2011–2025, to be screened, is a moving image piece created while traveling between two locations—Fukushima and Berlin—after the Great East Japan Earthquake. This work is crafted not merely to document events, but as a form that narrates history and creates opportunities to retell it. Within the footage, human voices, silences, landscapes, and memories intertwine, giving rise to new questions.
    Following the screening, emerging filmmakers participating in RAM will gather to discuss themes such as “What does it mean to think through film?” and “How does art engage with society?” While this may sound somewhat challenging, the discussions will center on the universally vital theme of “how we observe and pass on the narrative of our present era.”
    Through this event, RAM Association explores the “new public space” created by film.
    As an art form, the essay film is also a visual philosophy that seeks ‘freedom of thought’ amidst the remnants of knowledge systems and history. Yet it is never merely about difficult theories; it is a starting point for “seeing the world with your own eyes and thinking with your own words.”
    And if you have even the slightest interest in “thinking” or “feeling,” please come to the venue. Within this time and space, you will surely experience the joy of thinking alongside the images.
