East Asia Disability Studies Forum (EADSF) 2023 Oct 27th, 28th(Fri, Sat) 2023, at E-room Center, Korea Report on the PLAN 75 screening and discussion event Izumi Otani (Faculty of Sociology, Institute of Ars Vivendi) KHA00347@nifty.ne.jp Miki Kawabata (Kinugasa Research Organisation, Institute of Ars Vivendi) mikikwbt@gmail.com Purpose This poster presents the PLAN 75 screening and discussion event, which was a joint project of the PLAN 75 discussion event project of the Institute of Ars Vivendi, headed by Izumi Otani and co-funded by Mao Saito, and the priority programme of the Institute of Human Sciences, of which Miki Kawabata is a co-funded researcher. The following is an overview of the event (held on 23 December 2022). PLAN 75 (Directed by Chie Hayakawa, released in 2022) The film PLAN 75 was officially entered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, received the Camera d'Or Special Mention at the end of May, was selected as Japan's entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 95th Academy Awards, and attracted considerable attention by raising issues regarding the dignity of life, ageing societies and disability. The film was hotly discussed, winning awards in Japan and abroad, including Best Director and Best Screenplay (for director Chie Hayakawa) and Best Actress (for actress Chieko Baisho). Screening and Discussion Event (23 Dec 2022) Chie Hayakawa, director of PLAN 75, was invited to a screening event in person, while the discussion session was a hybrid of in-person and online events. Participation was open to the general public and not limited to Ritsumeikan students, graduate students, faculty and staff. In view of the film's subject matter, the screenings were subtitled in Japanese and the discussion sessions provided information accessibility through sign language and text interpretation, making tangible efforts to ensure that no one was left behind. Implementation system and effectiveness in training young people This event was prepared and implemented by the Online Office of the Institute for Ars Vivendi (graduate students of the Graduate School of Core Ethics, Ritsumeikan University) and graduate students of the Graduate School of Sociology and the Graduate School of Core Ethics belonging to this project. These students were supervised by Miki Kawabata in place of Izumi Otani, who was unable to go to the site. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Online Office and the participation of graduate students through a collaboration between teaching and research, the implementation process itself contributed to the development of young researchers. It is worth mentioning that through these processes, exchanges between faculty members and graduate students in education and research were made across the Graduate School of Core Ethics and the Graduate School of Sociology. Preliminary preparations In order to hold the discussion sessions in a hybrid format for both speakers and participants, we asked Kyoto Graphie to provide a video feed for the webinar, NPO Yuni to provide text interpretation and Mirairo to provide sign language interpretation. Several days of preliminary checks and preparations were made at the venue, mainly by the Ars Vivendi Online Office, together with student staff members involved in video, audio and lighting at Kyoto Graphie and Igakukan Hall No. 2. Preparation of the pre- registration system, publicity leaflets and web pages, and the preparation and printing of materials on the day of the event were carried out by the Ars Vivendi Online Office and graduate students of the Graduate School of Sociology. Event and follow-up The hybrid event was hosted by the Online Office of Institute of Ars Vivendi, and the reception desk was staffed by a team of graduate students and student staff members from the Saito Seminar. The event was a great success, attracting 120 participants at the in-person venue and over 200 participants in total including the webinar. The response rate to the post-event questionnaire was particularly high at the in- person venue, with many participants expressing their enjoyment of the event. The information accessibility measures were particularly well received.
