■ Work Overview
'ENJIN' is a promotional video set in the winter of Mogami Town, Yamagata Prefecture.
With the theme of 'Flame', it depicts the awakening of a flame sleeping in a man's heart against the backdrop of fantastic snowscapes such as the traditional winter event 'Oshaito Festival' and the sea of clouds at Akakura Onsen Ski Resort.
We deliver a story where the warmth and hope that sprout within the harshness of winter intersect.
■ Comment from Mr. Hiroshi Imada, Head of Tourism Promotion Room, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Division, Mogami Town, Yamagata Prefecture
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for receiving the prestigious Excellence Award in the City Promotion category at the Japan World's Tourism Film Festival. We are deeply grateful to the judges, the production team including General Producer Yui Mendoza who made great efforts to produce this work, and the townspeople who provided tremendous cooperation for the filming.
We commissioned the production of 'ENJIN' with the primary goal of conveying the 'charm of Mogami Town's winter' to as many people as possible. Winter in Mogami Town is a season of deep and harsh snow, but that is precisely why we can see fantastic snowy landscapes, the rich culture unique to a snowy region, and the warmth of the people living there. Mr. Yui captured the raw beauty of Mogami Town's winter and the passion residing within its tranquility with magnificent visual beauty.
We hope that through this video, you will be able to feel even a little of the winter atmosphere of Mogami Town and the breath of its people.
Taking this award as an opportunity, we hope that many people will learn about Mogami Town and actually visit.
