In February 2026, we had a Slovenian film producer Marina GUMZI and a director Gregor BOZIC who took some research, participating our Artists-in-residence program. They visited some orchards in Yamagata, Zao onsen area and the old temples with some interviews for their research of ongoing new feature film. They also engaged in exchange activities with citizens, the screening of their beautiful film “Stories from the Chestnut Woods“, followed by a talk session, as well as the workshop where they guided children how to make videos at the elementary School.
