This year, the Japan Foundation Asia Center and TIFF are turning their attention to Philippine Cinema. “Crosscut Asia #02” will feature an outstanding lineup of films including a special program of the works of director Brillante Ma. Mendoza whose film, “Kinatay” won Best Director Award at the 62 nd Cannes Film Festival. His new film “TAKLUB” has been selected in the Un Certain Regard section of this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The 28th TIFF will be held from October 22-31, 2015 at Roppongi Hills and other venues in Tokyo. 04 A phone call. That’s how my HANDs (Hope and Dreams) journey started–a short call on a usual Tuesday confirming my successful acceptance to the program–followed by a “big yes” as the program officer on the line asked about my availability. I was in a blur and tried to keep my focus as I returned to my engagement. Time flew swiftly. With brief introductions, followed by coffee and traditional cakes, occasional tea breaks somewhere in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Japan, a pool of young professionals carrying different shades of disaster experiences and knowledge became a community aspiring to diversify and innovate disaster education. It felt like home. For a humanitarian worker advocating children’s rights, climate change, and disaster risk reduction in communities affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), my entire HANDs experience felt like finding an Alcoholics Anonymous support group. Only we were drunk on everything that leaned toward disaster risk reduction and education, simply because DRR, though a vital issue, is not everyone’s cup of tea. Often times, as I enjoyed operating the vendo-machine and rewarding myself with a warm milk tea from a long day of discussion, games, exhibits, and action planning, (and let’s not forget the immense energy spent trying not to shed a tear from post-disaster documentaries watched, which I always ended-up shedding more than a drop) I would reflect and say “I have the technical knowledge, but I am not that creative, but there are creative people from this group who could transform my knowledge.” I guess that’s how the HANDs team rolls; we are a set of contrasts that compliment. There’s a sense of relief in not knowing everything because someone else can teach and enlighten me. COVER STORY: OVER THE WAVES, ASHES, AND SHAKES Exposure. With my own experiences of floods, mudslides, storm surges and typhoons in the Philippines, HANDs further gave me an understanding of what ash fall could feel like; how massive a volcanic eruption would be. That a pyroclastic cloud is not just a mere puff of rushing air, but steaming hot vapor. These things I understood after visiting Indonesia’s most active volcano, Mount Merapi. In Chiang Rai and Bangkok, I learned it isn’t just houses and schools that should be resilient from earthquake and flooding, but also museums and temples. And in Fukushima, Ishinomaki and Sendai, I saw how quakes and waves coincide in wiping out communities and memories. This is the power of nature; its capacity to move beyond human threshold and technology and change lives. Hope and Dreams. It is with this project that I, and the rest of the HANDs participants, continue to aspire and deliver projects that will enable individuals and communities to make timely and life-saving decisions. Everyone has a set of vulnerabilities that can be reduced by increasing our capacity to adapt and prepare accordingly. And I hope the work we do will enable and empower individuals to act proactively rather than reactively. “HANDs is a journey that will take you to places where waves, ashes, quakes and storms have gone by. Where people meet to bridge knowledge, to be creative and to learn new things to leave a brighter trace.” “Visit to a non-profit Machizukuri Shinmachi Namie (Building Community, Shinmachi Namie), Fukushima Japan.” Jen Culibar is a Program Officer on Child Protection at Save the Children Philippines.

Excited and engaged, these curators are creating a network that will support emerging artists and independent art spaces for the next generation. With this same idea of running and learning hand in hand, the Japan Foundation’s Southeast Asian overseas offices have each published a book, serving as both the exhibition catalogues for the curators’ exhibits, as well as an art, culture, and travel guide for each participating country. Together, the set of books are a window not only into the current state of contemporary art in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand but a practical guide to the ever changing landscape of Southeast Asia in the 21st century. AYJO KICK-OFF CONCERT February 22, 2015 East Atrium, Shangri-La Plaza Mall Six musicians from Japan—Osamu Matsumoto (trombone), Mayuko Katakura (piano), Yuri Kishimoto (saxophone), Mariko Maeda (trombone), Nohara Okamoto (electric bass) and Fumihiro Ibuki (drums )—serenaded the crowd with a superb jazz concert at the East Atrium of Shangri-La Plaza. The free performance served as a kickoff to the “Asian Youth Jazz Orchestra” (AYJO) project of The Japan Foundation Asia Center, which aims to form cross-border networks among upcoming jazz musicians from Japan and Southeast Asian countries. Auditions were held in Manila, from which 5 were selected to participate in the training camp in Tokyo and perform in Southeast Asia and Japan. Missed the concert? Catch the six musicians and the rest of the AYJO members perform for free on September 26 at Meralco Theater in Pasig City. JFM ACTIVITY REPORT HANDs!

Project wraps up its inaugural first year, logging hundreds of miles traveled across Southeast Asia and Japan, with our 24 participants engaging in workshops, discussions, community engagement, and the development of 8 action plans dealing with creativity + post-disaster preparedness and education.

The second year of HANDs! will prove just as active and exciting, with our offices in Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Delhi, Thailand, and the Philippines not only supporting the proposed action plans, but also bringing together a new batch of young professionals looking to make a positive impact on disaster education through innovation, creative ideas, and out-of-the-box thinking.

Cagayan de Oro City Six months after its launch in Cagayan de Oro, “MOVE Philippines”—the disaster awareness and preparedness program for children patterned after “Iza! Kaeru Caravan!” from Japan—had its second run in the province through Capitol University (CU). The program was incorporated as part of “Abtik! Disaster Awareness Festival” which showcased the best practices in rescue and disaster preparedness programs of other offices such as Red Cross and Bureau of Fire Protection. A team of 5 facilitators supervised by CU professor Lilian de la Pena worked with 35 volunteers and 86 participants (10 elementary pupils and 76 high school students) for the half-day run of fun, educational games last May 15 at CU. The team also coordinated with barangay councils from 10 communities in CDO most prone to flooding. “MOVE Philippines” was developed by the Japan Foundation, Manila together with CU, Plus Arts, Ruttikorn Vittikorn, and Plus 63 Design Studio. There will also be a demonstration of the program in Albay through the initiative of JICA, Bicol University, Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office (APSEMO) DepEd, and CDRRMO/MDRRO. STARS, BEAUTIES, AND THE STAGE: Ukiyo-e Portraits from Edo Period Japan Photos courtesy of UP Asian Center March 31 – May 15, 2015 Japan Hall, GT-Toyota Hall of Wisdom, Asian Center, UP Diliman The Asian Center hosted the art exhibition entitled "Stars, Beauties, and the Stage: Ukiyo-e Portraits from Edo Period Japan". The exhibit showcased 35 ukiyo-e portraits of women engaged in everyday tasks: picking irises, crossing a river, serving tea, and smoking a pipe. A few men disguising as women are also portrayed. Encoding notions of femininity and the gender dynamics of early modern Japan, the portraits feature women from different social classes: a courtesan, a servant, a geisha, and a bonsai vendor. Ukiyo-e literally means “pictures of the floating world” in Japanese. They refer to colored woodblock prints that flourished during the Edo Period between the 17th and 19th centuries. 20`15 EIGA SAI FDCP CINEMATHEQUE UP FILM INSTITUTE Davao City Quezon City AUGUST 12 (WEDNESDAY) JULY 14 (TUESDAY) WA-SHOKU ~Beyond Sushi~ 和食ドリーム 5:30 pm JULY 15 (WEDNESDAY) Thermae Romae II テルマエ・ロマエII JULY 16 (THURSDAY) The God of Ramen ラーメンより大切なもの 東池袋大勝軒 50年の秘密 JULY 17 (FRIDAY) A Tale of Samurai Cooking - A True Love Story 武士の献立 JULY 18 (SATURDAY) PATISSERIE Coin de rue 洋菓子店コアンドル It's a Beautiful Life - IRODORI - 人生、 いろどり 3:30 pm 5:30 pm 1:30 pm 3:30 pm 5:30 pm JULY 19 (SUNDAY) Our Family ぼくたちの家族 3:30 pm Tada's Do-It-All House: Disconcerto まほろ駅前狂騒曲 1:30 pm Princess Jellyfish 海月姫 4:30 pm Parasyte 寄生獣 AUGUST 13 (THURSDAY) 7:00 pm Our Family ぼくたちの家族 1:30 pm Wood Job!
