How To Catch A Butterfly

Kiriko Mechanicus

Filmmaker Kiriko Mechanicus writes letters to a mass shooter to discover the root of their mutual obsession for one another.

In 2021, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long kills 8 Asian women in massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia as a way to suppress his uncontrollable sexual desire. Dutch-Japanese filmmaker Kiriko Mechanicus writes letters to the young murderer to find out what his killings have to do with her sexual life. What do our racial fetishes tell us about our hidden human desires?
