Join us for a film screening of Japanese documentary Umi Yama Aida (In Between Mountains and Oceans). Inspired by the sacred ceremony of Shikinen Sengu at Ise Jingu, prestigious Japanese photographer Masaaki Miyazawa’s debut film is a meditation on our connection with nature. Travelling through deep mountains, sacred forests and to beautiful coasts, Miyazawa talks with an oyster fisherman, scientist, architect and others. Through his film, he unveils a thousand-year-old method of coexistence with nature, and reflects on the importance of living sustainably in modern society.
