Ijin 2024

Directed by Noam Shimashita and Keita Don Azu · 7 min

A short documentary film about the life transition from Naomi to Noam: beyond the physical transformation, it explores the non-physical aspects of being. Discovering the Japanese Kanji characters for Noam became a guiding light, bridging the gap between the inner self and the body. This journey shaped an identity and illuminated the profound connections between language, self-expression, and personal evolution.
