Listen to the Wood (Tesujiro Yamagami and Tomoki Imai, Japan, 2026)
"In Japan, where 70% of the land is covered in forests, we embark on a journey to discover the true nature of the forests that surround us. From the foot of Mt. Oakan in Hokkaido, to Naruko in Miyagi Prefecture, Hita in Oita Prefecture, Mt. Ichifusa in Kumamoto Prefecture, and Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture, we visit these locations with leading Japanese researchers and venture into forests of giant trees that have survived for far longer than humankind, uncovering the mystery of their intelligence in this nature documentary. What kind of world do these forests, where diverse species coexist beyond human imagination, tell us?" (alfazbetmovie.com/morinikiku/)
