TRIPLEX Shorts Compose Omnibus Film 'Tai to Ame to Yukionna' Opening November 13
A short film streaming service is putting its own production support program's output into two cinemas, and crowdfunding one of the three shorts for overseas festival submissions, which ties the program's selection process to theatrical and festival exposure rather than streaming alone.

SAMANSA will theatrically release 'Tai to Ame to Yukionna,' an omnibus film of three shorts made through TRIPLEX, the production support program it runs with Shimokita-Ekimae-Cinema 'K2' and MotionGallery. The works are Shiomi Hasegawa's 'Tai no Ara,' Ryu Suzuki's 'Hakui,' and Takayuki Fukada's 'Kogoeru Hodo Chikaku.' It opens Friday, November 13, 2026 at K2 in Shimokitazawa and Theater Emu in Shinsaibashi.
The omnibus is the completed output of TRIPLEX, which SAMANSA launched with Shimokita-Ekimae-Cinema 'K2' and MotionGallery. Three directors were chosen from submissions and each produced one short.
