In Between Mountains and Oceans (Masaaki Miyazawa)
West Coast Premiere
Japan, 2014, 79 minutes
Sunday, May 31 at 1 pm
Little Roxie Theater, 3125 16th Street, San Francisco, 94103
From the San Francisco Green Film Festival website: “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. Traveling through deep mountains, sacred forests, and to beautiful coasts, Miyazawa unveils a thousand-year-old method of coexistence with nature and reflects on living sustainably in modern society.” Producer Yusuke Kamata will be in attendance for this screening and participating in a post-screening discussion.

Black (Chen-Wei Lin)
USA Premiere
Taiwan, 2014, 57 minutes
Monday, June 1 at 8:15 pm
Little Roxie Theater, 3125 16th Street, San Francisco, 94103
From the San Francisco Green Film Festival website: “Rice is fundamental to the Taiwanese diets. But as water contamination increases, farmer’s efforts are no longer being rewarded with golden paddy and delicate rice. Black shows the increasing tension between industry and agriculture as wastewater pollution infiltrates the rice fields.” Steve Fisher and Jason Jaacks, the co-directors of the short film Silent River (preceding Black) will be in attendance at this screening and participating in discussion during the screening.
