PIANO ON FIRE

Plot: Famed Japanese jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita expresses his burning passion for music by setting his piano on fire. "I think though it is just a ten minute of performance, it holds an essence of artistic expression because he risked his life and career and took a serious approach to a project which is very ephemeral and unperfectible" (Ken Awazu)
