David Caprara, Kira Dane, 2020, 17min, Documentary)<\/p>\n<p>Japan has an uneasy relationship with tattoos, which have come to be associated with organized crime. Living amongst heavy stereotypes, a group of tattooed individuals practice a centuries-old pilgrimage to a mountain shrine, now one of the few places where the traditional full-body tattoo (\u201chorimono\u201d) can be shown and celebrated. Following the events of this never-before-filmed pilgrimage, this short documentary provides a fresh view on the cultural history of Japanese tattoos, and those who continue to choose to get them done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6714\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-1068x668.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nanmin.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNANMIN\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Dir.

Jun Hori, 2020, 105min, Documentary)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To find out the truth, we need to break down the subject,&#8221; says Jun Hori. In Hong Kong, he meets a young man who stood up to protect human rights, freedom, and democracy. At a refugee camp in Jordan, he finds a girl who wishes to see her father detained in Syria, who -one day- hopes to become a doctor that saves many precious lives. He also makes acquaintance with Ms. Fukaya, a hairdresser, who has neither been allowed to return home due to the Fukushima nuclear accident, nor been able to hold scissors since the earthquake. Meanwhile, Kubota and her son, who have moved from Mito to Okinawa after the earthquake, meet people who oppose the move of the new U.S. Marine Corps base from Futenma to Henoko. By raising her voice, she finds ways she can do to create a better future.\u00a0Deepening divisions can be seen in many places where social issues loom, in both Japan and overseas. Journalist Jun Hori explores the truth of division by approaching it himself.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"project-module module text project-module-text align- js-project-module e2e-site-project-module-text\">\n<div class=\"rich-text js-text-editable module-text\">\n<div><strong><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\"><span class=\"texteditor-inline-fontsize\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Discussion &amp; Directors\u00a0Interview-<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"project-module module text project-module-text align- js-project-module e2e-site-project-module-text\">\n<div class=\"rich-text js-text-editable module-text\">\n<div><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\">We\u2019ll have a discussion of Jun Hori, Director of &#8216;Watashi wa bundan wo yurusanai&#8217; ,\u00a0Anne Koizumi, director of &#8216;<span class=\"texteditor-inline-fontsize\">In the Shadow of the Pines&#8217;, and Kira Dane, director of &#8216;Horimono: Jaoan&#8217;s Tattoo Pilgrimage<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"texteditor-inline-fontsize\"><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\">Date &amp; Time : Saturday, Dec 4th, 2021 from 8 PM (EST)<\/span><\/span>\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"project-module module text project-module-text align- js-project-module e2e-site-project-module-text\">\n<div class=\"rich-text js-text-editable module-text\">\n<div><strong><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\"><span class=\"texteditor-inline-fontsize\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0Guests-<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6719\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-700x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-700x1024.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-768x1123.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-1050x1536.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-1400x2048.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-696x1018.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-1068x1562.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi-287x420.jpg 287w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ann-Koizumi.jpg 1641w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong><span class=\"texteditor-inline-fontsize\"><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\">Anne Koizumi<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span class=\"texteditor-inline-color\">Anne Koizumi is an independent filmmaker and media arts educator based in Montreal, Quebec.
