Reference Film Viewing Event at Uplink
On Monday March 11, FUKUSHIMA VOICE students attended an event at Shibuya Uplink, involving the viewing of a reference film and a lecture. The students watched “Backdrop Kurdistan” (directed by Masaru Nomoto, produced by Kazuo Osawa), and discussed their responses to it while also listening to a lecture from Mr. Osawa. He spoke about what he felt was important when shooting the documentary and his methods for filming. Upon hearing so many interesting stories, the students’ desire to work hard on their own film production became even stronger. (Hashimoto)

Report on the special screening event, “After 3.11 – Sounds & Voices”
We have had a great deal of positive feedback from people who attended, saying that the films and talk shows were wonderful and they were glad they participated. The event was featured in several newspapers, and attended by people from many different regions. It was unfortunate that there were not many students from the University of Tsukuba, despite a strong attendance from students from universities in Tokyo. Perhaps the earthquake has begun to fade away from the memories of some students. It was a reminder for us of the importance of the documentary film production project “FUKUSHIMA VOICE.” (Kataoka)
Our special screening of “After 3.11 – Sounds & Voices” was featured in the newspaper (2)
In succession from yesterday, articles about the screening have also been published in the Ibaraki editions of the Tokyo Shinbun and the Yomiuri Shinbun.
