A Mine in Hida 1949 / B&W / 35mm / 26 min Production Company: Nippon Eigasha Planning: Kamioka Kogyo Director: Yanagisawa Hisao Script: Seki Tadashi This painstaking work documents the workers and production methods at the Hida Kamioka Mine. After Yanagisawa later learned this locale was the site of the Jintsu River cadmium poisoning (itai-itai disease), he remembered the film as one where he had "made a mistake." In later years, Yanagisawa became deeply involved in filmmaking for social causes, and his experience with this film can be understood as an important impetus in that direction.   beforenext COPYRIGHT:Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival Organizing Committee
