Chie Hayakawa is a director and writer. She studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where she specialised in photography. Some of her first short films, such as What you are holding is not an apple (2000) or Vajra/Vajra (2001), were screened at international festivals in London, Los Angeles and Toronto. She made a comeback to cinema in 2013 with her short film Niagara, which was included in the selection of the Cinéfondation de Cannes. The dystopia that she prophesies in Plan 75, her debut film that won the Caméra d’Or Special Jury Mention, has its origins in a self-titled short film from 2018, which is part of the anthology Ten Years Japan.
