Mascha Dilger’s Ono No Kochami is a cinematic interpretation of the poem of the same name by Clara Sondermann. This contemporary poem explores relationships and family, as well as their transience, and serves as a tribute to the ancient Japanese poetess Ono No Komachi, who lived and worked as a court poet during the Heian period around 830 AD. The film was also created for Stephan Krass’s Poetry Film Seminar.
