Johatsu – Into Thin Air

Andreas Hartmann & Arata Mori

Every year, thousands of people vanish without a trace in Japan. Known as the Johatsu, or “the evaporated,” they abandon their lives for various reasons, a troublesome relationship, mounting debts or threats from the mafia. Some get support from so-called “night moving” companies, which help people to disappear and start a new life somewhere else. With an intimate look at the phenomenon of “evaporating people”, “JOHATSU – Into Thin Air” depicts the inner conflicts and attempts at reconciliation of those who have vanished and those left behind.The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Andreas Hartmann and Melanie Bono, moderated by curator Sumi Hayashi.
