How to Envision a Future after Disaster: Cinematic Landscape and Post-Disaster Recovery in Haruka Komori and Natsumi Seo’s <i>Double Layered Town/Making a Song to Replace Our Positions</i> (2019)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, many films have depicted the destruction and its immediate aftermath. Existing literature largely focuses on these works, overlooking how filmmakers have dealt with the concerns that arose years later when the post-disaster reconstruction project was deemed largely completed. This paper examines how Haruka Komori & Natsumi Seo’s documentary Double Layered Town/Making a Song to Replace Our Positions (2019) addresses long-term issues accompanying the post-disaster recovery, including landscape transformation and the intergenerational transmission of survivors’ memories. Through a close analysis of the film’s aesthetics, this paper argues that its landscape shots and ethical perspectives challenge the progressive narrative of reconstruction often promoted by authorities while also visually questioning the meaning of post-disaster recovery.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
