SUMMARY:A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of CONTACT Photography Festival\, we will be screening three documentaries\, featuring the beauty of photography\, architecture\, light and the creative minds behind them. On May 23\, we will explore this with the screening of two documentaries together\, Memories of Origin: Hiroshi Sugimoto\, followed by KOCHUU: Japanese Architecture/Influence and Origin. Then on June 4\, we will screen a serene portrait of an artist in A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light. Two of the films\, Memories of Origin and A Room of Her Own were directed by Yuko Nakamura.   \nA Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light  \nArtist Rei Naito reminds us of the faint presence of things that are not visible unless we make the effort to see them. An artist shrouded in mystery\, Naito has up to now refused to be filmed on camera. After two years of exchanges with the artist\, this documentary attempts to get close to the essence of Naito’s art\, which expresses the lights of existence\, without pointing the camera at theartist herself. The story involves the dynamism of the pulsating space of the “Matrix” at the Teshima Art Museum\, water\, light\, and five women who are enticed by the world of Naito’s art. The Teshima Art Museum\, which integrates a construction by architect Ryue Nishizawa (co-founder of SANAA)\, the artwork “Matrix” by artist Rei Naito\, and the natural surroundings\, is located in the middle of the beautiful Teshima Island in the Seto Inland Sea. Special permission was granted to film the museum. The result is the birth of a new art documentary reminiscent of a deep prayer\, with many intangible and tangible things weaved into the story. \n“Highlighting the two-year communications between Naito\, an artist who has never revealed her creating processes to the outside world\, and director Yuko Nakamura\, this film shows the quest of five women\, all invariably enchanted by Naito’s art\, as they explore her artistic world based on the question of whether it is in itself a blessing to be alive.” —Aichi International Women’s Film Festival \nDirector: Yuko Nakamura\, 2015\, 87 minutes > Films official website \nCast: Rei Naito\, Ran Taniguchi\, Hina Yukawa\, Keiko Oyama\, Nobuko Numakura\, Kyoko Tanaka \nDirector of photography: Yasuyuki Sasaki/ Sound : Koh Yu Chang/ Editor : Yuko Nakamura\, Kei Ishikawa/ Music : Tara Jane O’neil\, Masakatsu Takagi/ Costume Design: Theater Products/ Assistant Director : Hayato Onishi/ Executive Producer : Hiromitsu Sugita/ Associate Producer: Tomoaki Sugimoto/ International Producer : Miyuki Fukuma/ Cooperation : Gallery Koyanagi\, Teshima Art Museum/ Presented by TV MAN UNION\, Inc. \n(c) TV MAN UNION / YOICHI NAGANO \nAbout Teshima Art Museum\n\nUniting the creative visions of artist Rei Naito and architect Ryue Nishizawa\, Teshima Art Museum stands on a hill on the island of Teshima overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The museum\, which resembles a water droplet at the moment of landing\, is located in the corner of a rice terrace that was restored in collaboration with local residents.\nStructurally\, the building consists of a concrete shell\, devoid of pillars\, covering a space 40 by 60 meters and with a maximum height of 4.5 meters. Two oval openings in the shell allow wind\, sounds\, and light of the world outside into this organic space where nature and architecture intimately interconnect. In the interior space\, water continuously springs from the ground in a day long motion. This setting\, in which nature\, art and architecture come together with such limitless harmony\, conjures an infinite array of impressions with the passage of seasons and the flow of time. \nAbout artist REI NAITO  \nREI NAITO\, born 1961\, is a Japanese artist who was born in Hiroshima. She graduated from Musashino Art University in 1985. She presented her works at the 47th Venice Biennale (1997) in Italy.

SUMMARY:TOKYO Ainu
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of National Indigenous Day\, and to bring awareness of the indigenous people of Japan\, we invite you to join us for a special screening of the documentary Tokyo Ainu directed by Hiroshi Moriya and produced by the Tokyo Ainu Film Production Committee. June 21 is also the summer solstice\, or in Japanese 夏至 (geshi)\, another reason to celebrate and for a chance to cool down after the longest day of the year. \n \nTokyo Ainu\n \nDirected by Hiroshi Moriya\, 2011 [114 minutes]\nTokyo Ainu features the Ainu\, the indigenous peoples of Japan\, living in Greater Tokyo who are actively promoting their traditional culture in a metropolitan urban environment\, away from their traditional homeland\, Hokkaido. Shedding a common assumption that all Ainu live in Hokkaido\, the film captures the feelings\, thoughts and aspirations of Ainu people who try to follow the Ainu way no matter where they live. \n  \nDIRECTOR\, CINEMATOGRAPHER\, EDITOR: Hiroshi Moriya\, \nHiroshi Moriya is a former TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) director\, who directed documentary programs on indigenous people in Siberia and in the Amazon rainforest. At one time he travelled from the Arctic through the five continents to the Antarctic\, filming wild animals. He received the High Vision Award 2000 for his “The Philosophers of the Forest\, the Mehinaku”\, which is a documentary film on an Amazon indigenous people. \nHe resigned from TBS in order to pursue a land- based lifestyle and learned Permaculture\, a design theory to create sustainable life\, while being engaged in farming and gardening. He is now based in Tokyo\, being a freelance film director and a vegetable farmer. \n(c) “TOKYO Ainu” Film Production Committee \n \n  \nTokyo Ainu Website > \nAinu Museum > \nAinu Report on UNHCR > \nFoundation For Ainu Culture \nOther Ainu related links from Ainu Association of Hokkaido > \nAINU: Indigenous Peoples in Japan (United Nations short video) \n
