This community archive project creates a form for discussion through the medium of video, using digitized 8 mm film showing Setagaya in the Showa period (1920s–1980s). By highlighting individual narratives shaped through playback of the videos, it aims to create leaders who will drive the project together.
This is a project involving people from the ‘lost generation’ exploring where they are now through 8mm film. On the 4th Sunday of every month, 84 videos from the community video archive “Setagaya Chronicle 1936-83” will be selected in turn, and publicly recruited project members will act as intermediaries, working on the project’s three steps of “watching, talking, listening” in a leisurely rollout that links both online and offline activities.
This is a series of articles by writer Tomofumi Hashimoto documenting the Sunday Interviewers project.
