I have almost no memories of the Great East Japan Earthquake. That's why I believe there is a documentary about the earthquake that only a high school student like me could make. Through this work, I hope many people will think about what the purpose of reporting is.

『A Soul of city』
監督：Liselotte Wajstedt
Japanese title: 都市の魂 / Director Liselotte Wajstedt / Sweden / art experimental / 2012 / 5.5min / non dialoge
監督紹介
The name Kiruna comes from the Sami word Giron, which means Mountain Grouse.The young city of Kiruna got its name because from a distance it could look as if the two mountains Luossavaara and Kiirunavaara looked like two Ripos sitting and talking to each other.Nowadays, the tops/heads of both mountains are stripped. One of which is the city's Slalombacke and the oldest opencast mine. Then they started mining the ore from Kiirunavaara, which in Sami is called Gironvarri, which directly translates to Fjällripafjället.Now Kiruna will move and parts of the city will become a mine hole. I ask myself; What is the soul of a city?
