Profile : |
Hiroshi Moriya is a former TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) director, who directed documentary programs on indigenous people in Siberia and in the Amazon rainforest. At one time he travelled from the Arctic through the five continents to the Antarctic, filming wild animals. He received the High Vision Award 2000 for his “The Philosophers of the Forest, the Mehinaku”, which is a documentary film on an Amazon indigenous people.
He resigned from TBS in order to pursue a land- based lifestyle and learned
Permaculture, a design theory to create sustainable life, while being engaged
in farming and gardening. He is now based in Tokyo, being a freelance film
director and a vegetable farmer.
Responding to the request from the Film Production Committee, he offered
to take an awesome task of being director, cinematographer and editor for
the underfunded “TOKYO Ainu”. He has been devoting much of his time and energy to the shooting and
editing of the film since the spring of 2007, driven by his aspiration
to capture, for the future generations, the images of the Ainu, who constitute
an important part of cultural diversity in the Japanese Archipelago. |
