A still from a Japanese documentary A four-day Japanese documentary festival organised by NHK International in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan was inaugurated in New Delhi on Thursday at the Japan Foundation in Lajpat Nagar. The Delhi leg of the festival will be held at Jawaharlal Nehru University beginning Friday after which it will move to Mumbai. The festival has been organised on account of 2008 being celebrated as India-Japan Friendship Year. Documentaries screened on the occasion will pertain to technology in Japan and how the country’s innovative solutions across various fields can serve as a source of knowledge and information for India. The series of short films will portray different aspects of modern-day Japan and will take off with “Images of Japan” that provides an eye-opener account of the housing situation, the state of working women, wholesale markets and retail stores, annual events and customs, transport, education and energy in Japan. Another series, “State-of-the-art technology in Japan”, will provide an insight into how the country’s advanced technological know-how have impacted industry, medicine, communication, household appliances, construction, oceanography optics and civil engineering. This documentary will feature micro-machines, excavation and bridge technology, optical fibres, robots (“robots declare independence”) and eco-friendly cars. The films will also reveal the fascinating story of how the liquid crystal display technology was developed and perfected by Sharp Electronics. The traditional culture of Japan will also be highlighted with the focus being on timeless arts such as Ikebana, calligraphy, Japanese musical instruments, swords and kimonos. Other mention-worthy documentaries will showcase the enthralling landscapes of Japan. The films that will display Japan’s natural splendour include “Colourful Autumn Mountain Stream”, “Heartbeat of the Subtropical Forest”, “Winter of the Crashing Waves” and “Spring Breeze and Cherry Blossoms in Castle Town”.
