Directed by Haruka Komori, Natsumi Seo

Documentary

Overview

After the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011, Komori Haruka and Seo Natsumi chose to live and film in Rikuzentakata. This work is a visual record of four people who applied for a workshop Komori and Seo devised, showing them visiting the town and getting to know its people and landscape. The opportunity to hear personal experiences of the disaster decreases with time, but this film provides a bridge to new encounters and communication, in addition to including a story written by Seo entitled “Double Layered Town.”

Viewing Notes

Obligatory Fukushima / 3/11 documentary of the JAPAN CUTS film festival. This is fine. Not sure what more can be mined from this disaster but these filmmakers found a novel way to approach it.
