Momoko Seto | 9 mins | France | 2011

US PREMIERE

Somewhere in the Universe, on the PLANET Z, a miracle happens. A water jet springs up and gives birth to a new life: plants. A desert planet becomes a green planet.
Different species cohabit, including liquid and sticky mushrooms. But little by little, the mushrooms invade the green land, and destroy the idyllic life. The toxic spores kill the plants, and transform the green planet to a mouldy land. After destroying all the vegetation, the future of the mould seems uncertain – a species cannot live without other ones.

DIRECTOR BIO
Momoko Seto was born in 1980 in Tokyo, Japan. After studying at the Lycée Français of Tokyo, she attended the Fine Arts College of Marseille and Le Fresnoy National Studio of Contemporary Arts in France. She began making short fiction films and documentary films for the CNRS (National Centre of Scientific Research). She then started creating hybrid mix-genre films by transforming everyday life elements into a poetic and singular universe, for example the
experimental animations “PLANET A” and “PLANET Z” and seafood porn videos. Her films have been selected and shown at numerous international film festivals and artistic events, some of which have received international prizes.
