Tokyo Reels

Tokyo Reels

Twenty film reels, U-matic tapes, books, posters, documents, among other objects. These have been collected by a Japanese Palestine solidarity group throughout the 1970s and some of the ‘80s.

The twenty film reels, packaged in canisters and boxes labelled and marked with film titles, dates, some production and distribution details, present a collection of films rendering a history of political mobilisation and solidarity making with Palestine specific to Japan at the time. The films were made by Palestinian, Arab, Japanese and American filmmakers and journalists, and were commissioned by various political bodies, TV stations, and UNRWA.
