SUMMARY:The Genealogy of Sake (film screening)
DESCRIPTION:The Genealogy of Sake\n一献の系譜\nTuesday\, March 5\, 6:00PM (ET) \nDoors open 5:30PM | Film Screening | In-Person | JFT Event Hall \nDirected by ISHII Kaori • 2015 • Documentary • 108 minutes • Presented in Japanese with English subtitles • Free Admission \nA glass of Japanese sake (sah-keh) is filled with the spirit of the Japanese sake brewers\, or toji. The history of Japanese sake goes back to 2000 years ago\, and its brewing process is extremely detailed and complex. This documentary film follows the lives of artisans who pass on the heritage of brewing the perfect drop of sake. \nThe Genealogy of Sake was filmed in the bio-geographically diverse Noto peninsula\, Ishikawa prefecture. The agricultural system of this region is certified as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System\, and people live together sustainably with nature. To take a deeper look into Japanese sake brewing\, the documentary follows the intense six month period of sake production and focuses on the lives and artistry of the Noto Peninsula toji\, and the close connection they have with their environment\, the past and their future. \n(c) Ikkon Film Partners \nFree admission. Register below. \n\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto is hosting this film screening to honour everyone affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred on January 1\, 2024. For information on how to support recovery and relief efforts in the Noto region in Ishikawa Prefecture\, please refer to donation details in this PDF. \nAll sake breweries featured in The Genealogy of Sake have been damaged in some way by the Noto Earthquake. We have compiled a list of the breweries\, their status\, and related news articles in this information sheet.  \n\nDirector Profile: \n \nISHII Kaori graduated with a degree in philosophy from the University of the Sacred Heart.
