- Every year, thousands of people vanish without a trace in Japan. Known as the Johatsu, or "the evaporated," they abandon their lives for various reasons, a troublesome relationship, mounting debts or threats from the mafia. Some get support from so-called "night moving" companies, which help people to disappear and start a new life somewhere else. Taking an intimate look at the phenomenon of "evaporating people," the film depicts the inner conflicts and attempts at reconciliation of those who have disappeared and those who have been left behind.
- "A Million" depicts an imaginary city on the real urban cities along the new Silk Road - revived by the Chinese initiative's alternative globalization - through the eyes of a filmmaker from the East.
- Replacements depicts a Javanese family living in a fictional neighborhood in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Inspired by people and places that truly exist, they are witnesses of this congested metropolis's urban, environmental, political, and cultural transformations from about 1980 to 2020. A praise of the satisfaction of impermanent things, it tells about the dented yet peaceful transition of an old traditional village to an uprooted megapolis through three generations. This experience aims to appreciate and introspect Jakarta's recent history through the eyes of an ordinary family that most of Indonesians, from children to elder people, can identify with.
