synopsis

Address Unknown: Fukushima Now is an immersive VR documentary that takes audiences to the heart of Fukushima to meet survivors living in the shadow of the crisis today. Using volumetric capture and photogrammetry technology, the documentary transports viewers into an experience that explores the disaster and its lasting impact on communities and the environment. It reveals how a community endures in the aftermath of trauma and recalls memories of homes they can no longer return to. Through local voices, the experience also examines the meaning of home and how it may be redefined in the face of disaster.

Main Creator’s Statement

What is home? Is it our birthplace? The place of our happiest memories? Or maybe where our friends or family live? Regardless of place or culture, home is central to human life. This project aims to explore the meaning of home through different families and perspectives. What happens to an individual, a family, or a community when disaster disrupts that delicate core? This is the fundamental question at the heart of Fukushima Now, a project that ultimately asks the universal question of the audience— what is home to you?
