Duo YUMENO will accompany a silent film screening presented by the film studies department of Bucknell University, In the 1930s, several Japanese companies produced films made on paper (“kami firumu”) instead of celluloid. The screening will feature digitally restored films that have not been shown in public for nearly 85 years. Prof. Eric Faden at Bucknell University founded the Japanese Paper Film Project and has been leading the efforts on preserving the surviving movies and promoting scholarship about these films.
