In 1940, the Tokyo Olympics failed, lost to war. In 1964, the Tokyo Games triumphed, bringing the world to Japan. "Phoenix Fire" is a dreamed meeting between Kanô Jigorô, founder of judo, who tried to bring the Olympics to Japan before the war, and Ichikawa Kon, the filmmaker who created the celebrated documentary about the '64 Olympics. Inspired by Japanese noh theater, "Phoenix Fire" is a meditation on the cost of war and a celebration of our resilience.
