In Between Mountains And Oceans (2014)

For a thousand years, Japanese have lived in this forest. A thousand years from now, what will you leave behind?

Genre : Documentary

Runtime : 1H 19M

Director : Masaaki Miyazawa

Synopsis

Finding their place between the forest and the sea, the Japanese have always felt awe and gratitude toward Nature. Since ancient times, they have negotiated their own unique relationship with their natural surroundings. Acclaimed photographer Masa-aki Miyazawa discovered the essence of that ancient way of living in Ise Jingu, Japan’s holiest Shinto shrine. Inspired by the idea of sending a message to the future in the same way this ancient shrine keeps alive the traditions of the past, Miyazawa used an ultra-high resolution 4K camera to create a breathtaking visual journey linking the Ise forest with other forests throughout Japan.
