After the screening of the film "Love from Okinawa", a post-talk will be held with director Hiroshi Sunairi. In place of Mao Ishikawa, who was unable to visit Kyoto for the KYOTOGRAPHIE exhibition, Sunairi and co-director Yusuke Nakanishi will discuss the life, spirit, and works of Ishikawa, which they discovered through the film's production. This will be a valuable opportunity to delve into the deep messages conveyed by her photographs and the background behind the shooting process.
