About

A place where the light of documentary flows, a place where the time within film seeps into the cracks of life. As the black-and-white reels quietly spin, calling past moments to mind, visitors experience a fleeting blessing that transcends the boundary between black-and-white and color. The screening rooms, arranged in a cascading form, each hold their own visual story, and within the quiet light, waves of emotion arise. The traces of film breathe quietly within the shadows of filming equipment, and past and present come into harmony on the desks of the film archive room. The voice and breath held within film are never forgotten here.
