Threshold: Whispers of Fukushima
Film Screening
This film tells the story of several individuals who chose to stay in Fukushima, Japan following the horrible earthquake that took place in the spring of 2011. In the wake of this disaster, many used music and performance to express themselves. Having lost almost everything, their commitment to music has been key to their endurance and evolution in their changed world. From their inspiring sounds and stories, they show us the importance of finding and nurturing our own happiness.
The film is directed by artist, photographer, and filmmaker Toko Shiiki, with score by U-M Associate Professor of Music and Composition, Erik Santos. Work began on the film in the spring of 2013, and the film premieres at UMMA in time to commemorate the four-year anniversary of the earthquake.
This program is co-sponsored by UMMA and the U-M Center for Japanese Studies.
