Cinema with Us 2025
This marks the 8th edition of the film program focusing on works borne from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. In addition to new films being made today, 15 years after the disaster, the program will introduce recent documentary practice on the Noto Peninsula, an area struck by an earthquake and heavy rains last year where, unfortunately, the lessons of the 2011 Earthquake have not been fully applied. By linking the two regions of Tōhoku and Noto across time and space, the program seeks to foster dialogue and reflection. Alongside screenings of films related to the Great East Japan Earthquake, a roundtable discussion will explore ongoing documentation activities in the disaster-stricken area of Noto.
