SF, B-movie horror, superhero, kung fu action.... The movies of Kiyoki Uchida, enrolled in the Kawaguchi Art School of Waseda University, are inlaid with the essence of a variety of movie genres. Uchida first became interested in movies in junior high school. Due to his grandfather, who ran a camera store, Uchida had spent much time in a dark room since childhood. Before long, his interest shifted from photographs to movies, and he began to harbor a yearning for science fiction films such as Star Wars and Back to the Future. Once he moved on to high school, Uchida established a movie club, and began immersing himself in the world of making his own movies together with friends. At first, Uchida’s films referenced French New Wave cinema, which focused on low budgets and quick filming, but as his club aimed to make more and more professional films, the flaws in their filming technology and acting began to show through. That’s when Uchida began modeling his films after early SF and B-movie horror films, which were also low budget movies.
