The "Morioka-za Cinema Museum" exhibition, organized by the "Movie Town Morioka" Promotion Project Executive Committee, began on October 18th to allow people to feel the connection between Morioka and cinema. This event is coordinated with the "Morioka-za Film Festival" organized by citizen volunteers. The exhibition is held at three venues: "Communication Gallery Lirio" features a special exhibit on filmmakers connected to Iwate/Morioka, such as director Shinji Somai and director Hiroshi Otomo, displaying representative posters and accepting viewer feedback; art storyboards actually used in Otomo's film "Takarajima" are also shown. "Cross Terrace Morioka" displays materials related to Morioka's film culture and history, including old photos of the movie theater street and posters. The committee hopes that visitors will view the exhibits before or after enjoying film screenings, sparking conversations about the behind-the-scenes aspects of movies and deepening their appreciation for cinema.
