In the 1930s, several Japanese companies produced films made of paper (“kami firumu”) to be screened for home viewings. This event will feature digitally restored paper films that had not been screened for nearly 85 years. In 2019, Prof. Eric Faden at Bucknell University founded the Japanese Paper Film Project and has been leading efforts on preserving the surviving films. Duo YUMENO will provide original live music for the silent shorts.
