Program

Special Screening (1) "Takanawa no Sato"

(1978/36 min/Director: HIMEDA Tadayoshi/Institute of Folk Culture Imaging)

The Folk Culture Imaging Research Institute (Mineiken) has carefully recorded folk culture and daily life in various parts of Japan. Their efforts to capture the wisdom and handiwork of daily life, which were being lost in the shadow of high economic growth, together with the lives of the people, have been recognized as important activities that will connect Japanese culture to the future. The film showcased this time, “The Path of Bamboo Ropes, ” captures the art of bamboo rope making that has been handed down in Hagidaira, Higashichichibu-mura, as well as the life of the mountain village. In Japan's mountain villages, many of the tools used to support daily life were made from familiar natural materials. This is a valuable documentary film that reminds us of the close relationship between nature and people.

Special Screening (2) "Re: Satoyama"

(2025/about 45 minutes/Planning and production: Yukiko Soda (Miguel Corporation)/Photography: Takuma Sakai)

More than 90% of Okutama is covered with forests. The scenery of life in the past has quietly changed with the times in a time flow different from that in cities. In order to unearth this disappearing lifestyle, we interviewed people who have lived in Okutama for a long time. It looks for small hints for the future by picking up bits and pieces of "past activities."

Storytelling A small well time that connects the past with the present

Those who appeared in "Re: Satoyama" will also participate in a small storytelling event to reflect on their old lives. Local residents who want to talk about old times are welcome, as are people who are just interested in listening. It is a place where people from different generations can relax and talk. Please feel free to join us.
