The organisers write: "Ogawa lived and breathed documentary and is hailed as one of the most courageous and visionary of documentary directors in history. Ogawa embedding himself with his subjects for prolong periods, began a filmmaking collective and was a founder of Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival."
