Japan: Land of the Rising Sun

Join photographer and filmmaker Brent Winebrenner on a beautiful journey of discovery into the heart of Japan.

Together we'll experience the ancient shrines and continue all the way to ultramodern architecture of major metropolitan centers like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. Venture off the beaten path into quiet towns and villages on an ancestral journey steeped in the culture and heritage of ancient temples and timeless Japanese gardens. Revel in the magnificent beauty of Japan’s natural landscape during its riot of fall colors and brilliant cherry blossom festivals. This film features still images that are animated Ken Burns style, set to a narrative track over a music foundation. Our cinematographer previously presented a film on Guatemala at Calvin in 2017.
