DescriptionNoa studied BA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts. She says:
'Following Japanese weapon-enthusiasts, from shooting ranges in Kyoto to large-scale battle simulations in Osaka's fields, ' A Place Where War Is Far and Omnipresent: War Games', is a documentary movie that discusses the involvement of private companies in the war industry, and the daily presence of their objects around us. The movie tells the story of the struggle to find the particular delimitation between games and war, weapons and objects. The disappearance of this invisible line where everything splits, would only mean the disappearance of peace, questioning ultimately the very notion of war.'
