 g postwar anxieties in a society grappling with the power – and peril 
 – of atomic energy.\nCountry: Japan\n96 minutes\, in Japanese with Engli
 sh subtitles\nDisclaimer: This film contains some difficult subject matter

 ludes admission to Contemporary Calgary. Our galleries are open from 12-5 
 PM for viewing prior to attending the program.\n--\nAbout Perspective Film
  Series\nCurated by associate curator Muriel N. Kahwagi\, the 2026 edition
  of Perspective is conceived as a sustained meditation on disaster in its 
 broadest and most resonant terms. While ecological catastrophe remains a c
 entral point of reference\, the series extends beyond literal scenarios of
  environmental collapse or speculative visions of planetary ruin\, approac
 hing disaster as a condition that permeates both collective structures and
  private lives\, unfolding across social\, political\, and emotional terra
 ins. In this sense\, disaster is understood not only as a single event\, b
 ut as an ongoing state – slow\, uneven\, and often normalized through sy
 stems of power\, habit\, and belief. The films in this series examine how 
 moments of crisis reshape perception and behaviour\, revealing fractures i
 n meaning\, and reflecting on the ways in which hope may persist long afte
 r the moment of rupture has passed.\nAbout the CuratorMuriel N. Kahwagi (s
 he/her) is a writer and curator\, working primarily across publishing and 
 programming. Her research is centered on the politics of collecting and ar
 chiving the performative\; and the act of listening as a form of preservat
 ion in and of itself. In 2023\, she was the TD Curatorial Fellow at Art Wi
 ndsor-Essex\, and a curator as part of Vtape’s Curatorial Incubator\, v.
 19. She is currently the Assistant Curator at Contemporary Calgary\, and a
  programmer at the Toronto Arab Film Festival.\n\nBoletos: https://www.sho
