About this event

Aiming to realize 'a town where people can continue living in their familiar community even if they develop dementia,' this citizen film screening is designed to deepen accurate understanding of dementia. The featured movie 'The Song of Names (Father and My Endless Song)' is a human drama based on a miraculous true story that brought smiles and hope across the world, depicting the love, conflicts, and family members challenging a once-abandoned dream. It movingly portrays a man with Alzheimer's disease who once gave up his youth dream of making a record debut, challenging his dream again with the support of his family. Based on a true story that became a topic of conversation in the UK in 2016, it was adapted into a film set in Japan. Why not take this opportunity to learn about dementia, deepen understanding, and watch a heartwarming piece? Feel free to participate alone or together with family and friends.
