Images of a Tree is a brief but intense film about death and the future of cinema. The project was shot at the site of where a close friend of mine passed away in a car accident about a year prior. Through both its form and content, the film poetically speaks on the medium of cinema and its relationship to the internet age, the apocalypse, and the different forms of death we are subjected to. As much as this film is about the future of cinema, it is just as much grappling with the future of death.

The O'Neills lived happily in their house in the Australian countryside. That was until one day fate struck blindly, taking the life of Peter, the father, leaving his grief-stricken wife Dawn alone with their four children. Among them, eight-year-old Simone denies this reality. She is persuaded that her father still lives in the giant fig tree growing near their house and speaks to her through its leaves. But the tree becomes more and more invasive and threatens the house. It must be felled. Of course, Simone won't allow it.

An account of the life and work of legendary Japanese actor Toshirō Mifune (1920-97), the most prominent actor of the Golden Age of Japanese cinema.
