On Saturday, February 16th, the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, also known as the Berlinale, gave a special mention to the Japanese documentary Senzoninaru, which shares the story of an elderly man who rebuilds his home and life after the devastating March 11th, 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster. Directed by Kaoru Ikeya, Senzoninaru (“Becoming an Ancestor”) was recognized by the Ecumenical Jury, which gives awards separate from the BIFF’s secretariat. [Source]
