The Memory of Shima
시마
- 널리 보는 세상-그린 아시아
| Synopsis | Shima, the title of this film, means island in Japanese. The resonance of meaning exists between Hiro ‘shima’ the first site in the world where a nuclear weapon was used; and Fuku‘shima’, where one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters occurred in 2011. Moreover, this film attempts to investigate the present reality of Japan, ‘Shima’-Guni, from the perspective of the ideas involving nuclear energy. |
