Büchner Filmproduktion

A small town in Japan's exclusion zone searches for normalcy in the five years following the greatest nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl.

A conversation with camerawoman and Studio Tatyana co-founder Tatyana Loginova from September 2024 in preparation for a Forum & Friends event, adapted for film by Christiane Büchner. For technical reasons, the organisers were only able to capture an audio recording of the conversation – this recording has been supplemented by animated sequences from Christiane Büchner as well as video footage, photographs and documents from the following sources: the Hildegard Westbeld Collection in the archive of Kinothek Asta Nielsen and the private archives of Alla Tkatchenko and Tatyana Loginova.
