《伊勢神宮-山海的千年迴響》透過伊勢神宮的傳統重建，展現人類與自然和諧共處的深厚哲學，呼應「觸碰AI的指尖」中對人類根本價值的思考。影片探討傳統與現代技術的交融，反映在AI時代下，設計與創作如何融合文化遺產與科技創新。這部作品不僅呈現自然與信仰的永續力量，也激發觀眾對未來設計與人類演化方向的深刻思考。
M005_伊勢神宮：山海的千年迴響 2022.05.21 【簡介】 電影透過記錄伊勢神宮每20年一次的遷宮儀式，以及採訪不同領域的專家對於伊勢神宮遷宮的想法，呈現出日本與山與海共存的精神，以及他們在這些儀式中，對大自然與人類的關係一遍又一遍的反覆思考。透過儀式與精神的傳承和實踐，日本人鞏固了信仰，並產生他們獨有的生命哲學觀點。 . 【感想】 這是經由敏迪 @mindiworldnews 推薦，在Giloo紀實影音平台 @giloo.ist 上觀賞的電影，謝謝讓我看到很棒的電影。 日本的文化有著一種很鮮明的特色，能讓人在一連串緩慢的動作或音樂中，達到一種寧靜。透過緩慢的動作，我們看到的不是人，不是動作，而是他們的靈魂，他們的精神，以及他們對神靈的虔敬。不論是在他們心中的使命感，或是不斷深入、不斷投入的職人精神，還是他們與自然共存的整體性思維，都展現他們對自然及神靈的崇敬。而對我而言，這種情懷，或許也是一種浪漫。 我很喜歡他們對自然童趣的比喻。用「樹哭了，樹倒下了」來描述伐木的過程，真的十分生動。也令人更對樹木抱持感激之情，更想珍惜身邊的一切木製用品，彷彿那都是樹木經過哀鳴，用自己的血肉所餵養出的。此外他們稱漁夫為「海上的小偷」，也是十分有趣。但同時令我反思，正是因為每個人都有好好維護他們的森林與海洋，漁夫才有機會成為小偷吧。 為什麼世界各地都有自己的宗教儀式？為什麼現代許多人強調儀式感的存在？儀式或許能幫我們在重複的動作中，重新思考、確認自身存在及一切行為的意義。這是否也是為何片中提到，歐洲的許多教堂都在城鎮的中心，反之日本許多神社都在林木之中有關？正是一代又一代的人們思考出的結果，從而作出不同的選擇。因此日本有鎮守之森，是否正是日本人對森林的情懷與敬畏精神的展現？ 我想那些伐木師所唱的歌謠，日本人對森林和宗教的情感最完美展示： 大山之神 左方山坡有一棵樹 要躺下囉 木曾山上培育的 檜木將送往伊勢 由木曾人民敬獻 這座山充滿榮耀 今年首送木材 可喜可賀呀 期待已久的神 大夥用繩子綁起 誠心送往伊勢去 這部電影不只是一部電影，還是我們關於日本的宗教信仰課、環境教育課、及思想課。 P.S.日本的森林和阿里山神木林好像，還有田中克真的長得很像柯文哲🤣 . 【觸動的句子】 1.透過20年一次重建社殿，將傳統的形式與精神，保留至現在，流傳未來。在木瓜樹旁，再蓋一棟同樣的建築，供請神名入內，將傳統保留至今，並傳到未來，由於不斷重建，神宮能永保年輕，這樣的概念，日文稱作「常若」。 2.永保年輕，代表接近本質。不只是看起來年輕而已，更因接近本質，才能永保新鮮、年輕。這樣的概念，和現代主義建築運動的目標一致。 3.我認為所謂的原創性，沒有什麼是真正創新的，只是將我們學過或記得的事物，加上一點想法，就稱之為原創了。 4.小說家立松和平曾說日本擁有兩個值得引以為傲的文化：一個是伊勢神宮每20年一度的遷宮儀式，已經流傳超過千年，藉此，古代興建的原版神社，能在現代以新穎的樣貌復甦；另一項文化瑰寶則是法隆寺，透過持續進行修復，使得千年前的原始建築，能夠流傳到現代，持續供人敬拜。 5.建造法隆寺的木工們，可能沒想到能流傳千年吧！結果卻保存至今。自然，有許多人會認為，是因為木工的技術十分精湛，建築和木材才能留存這麼久。另一方面，伊勢神宮則是每20年重建一次，使他們必須種植樹木，兩邊都想保存傳統，一再反覆實踐，心意是相同的。千年木材砍下後應再流傳千年，才能回報樹木的恩情，如果只能保存五百年，代表木工的技術不夠好，這就是心態上的差異。 6.為什麼人們去伊勢神宮這種地方，光是站著就覺得心曠神怡，並意識到神明的存在？進入到現代社會，人們仍會這樣想，或許我們體內的原子或分子有感應到什麼波長吧！ 7.水泥能保存一百年，我們得想得更久遠，有時候我們已經習於以十年、二十年為單位來思考，而非以千年為跨度。 . #Burnink_電影 #Burnink_Movie @burnink_98 #伊勢神宮山海的千年迴響 #InBetweenMountainsAndOceans #宮澤正明 #MasaakiMiyazawa #日本 #Japan #這些國家那些事 #TheseCountriesThoseThings #敏迪選讀 #mindiworldnews #Giloo紀實影音 #紀錄片
圍繞著伊勢神宮與森林的人們，不僅認真看待信仰，也在這份信仰中重新觀看人類與自然的關係，並形成一連串的產業鏈、保育計畫，是一股很強大的力量。神明的所在已不只在在儀式與念想，整片森林的循環，擴及到下游更多的人類文明城市，希望生活的一切與本質能夠更加地靠近，還有科學家、建築師的介入去研究這片靜謐的為何如此有生命力，並深信人類的文明應該要趨近這片土地散發的和緩、鮮活，神宮透過千年來這樣的聚集信仰，將周邊的一切很完整的流傳了下來。
「千年木材砍下後應再流傳千年，才能回報樹木的恩情。」 以伊勢神宮式年遷宮開場，進而從中討論到樹木種植、溪水淨化與森林生態，順應自然生態，抱持感謝自然的心態，將保存傳統文化、古建築，轉化成與自然共享生命，使古老的建築與文化不曾逝去，永傳於未來。
神道是日本固有的宗教信仰，其孕育於日本人的生活日常。自古以來，不論藉由農耕、漁業或是山林墾作，日本人順應大自然的變化共營共生，自然之力時而如慈母呵護萬物生長、物產豐饒，有時卻如猛獸洪水般，帶給人們不可測的災難險境。日本人把這股存在於大自然，代代延續的生命力視為神的存在，將山岳、岩石、草木、川流等自然萬物理解為神的依附所⋯⋯
Film is one of the fastest ways to get to know a country. In just an hour or so, a movie can take you through its streets, speak its language, and tell its stories from the inside out. Don’t worry—we’re not here to dive into complex geopolitical debates. In this film program, you’ll meet a wild rock band raising chaos in North Korea, a group of Danish men who really love to drink, and witness the everyday madness of the Russian “warrior people” through dashcam footage. These films don’t aim to explain entire nations. Instead, they focus on the little things—the strange, funny, messy bits of daily life. And isn’t it exactly these small moments that, together, make up the kaleidoscope of a country?
Through documentary works, we aim to lead audiences in contemplating talent sustainability and the power of visual media's influence on the environment. Our goal is to foster continuous intergenerational dialogue on sustainable resilience, building a collaborative ecosystem of shared solutions and green resources. This will accelerate international connections, facilitate the commercial implementation of solutions, and scale impact to infinite possibilities.
A single grain of rice nourishes a hundred kinds of people—though rooted in Asia, each land holds its own distinct character. Giloo presents ten handpicked documentaries on customs and religions, journeying from East Asia to Central Asia to reveal the countless faces of this vast continent.
Japan—a land of paradox and fascination—has long captivated travelers from afar. With deep-rooted traditions that have withstood over 150 years of rapid Westernization, Japan continues to preserve a unique national identity and way of life, while also giving rise to a distinct and globally influential pop culture. This month, Giloo Documentaries presents a curated selection of films that explore the many faces of Japan. Journey with us across mountains and oceans, through surface and depth—encountering the worlds of fashion, Takarazuka theater, love hotels, fine cuisine, robotics, and contemporary art. Modern Japan is vibrant, eclectic, and often wildly unexpected—and these films capture its raw, untamed spirit.
While watching a film, you’ve surely thought—if only I were there. Whether it’s the breathtaking landscapes or the long, winding paths walked by the characters, something pulls you in. John Berger once asked, “Did you come by photograph or by train? Every photograph is a means of transportation.” Let these documentaries be letters from afar— delicate invitations to places you’ve never imagined, and journeys you’ve never taken.
Since the Industrial Revolution, Japan’s path to modernization—beginning with the Meiji Restoration—seems to have established a distinct cultural attitude: the ability to preserve long-standing traditions while continuously reinventing them. After WWII, Japan made a remarkable recovery and quickly rose to global prominence, its cultural influence spreading across the world. For someone like me—born in the 1980s in Taiwan—this familiarity with Japanese culture feels second nature. As a student of Western classical music, I often find that this aesthetic of fusion, and even the lifestyle it reflects, plays a guiding and inspiring role in my creative process. The five selected works—covering religion, food, film, craftsmanship, and nature (intentionally excluding music)—may seem diverse, but each explores the same underlying tension and harmony between permanence and transformation. In a world where we constantly face global pressure and existential questions, this deep cultural foundation offers a quiet but powerful source of strength—especially for those of us who stand on the side of the challengers.
Faith is a dwelling place of the heart—a quiet sense of belonging, of ease, of return. Do you believe the world is kind to you today? Have you ever wondered why you were born into this world? As a part of nature, of all living things—where do you stand?

In 2022, we find ourselves constantly surrounded by art. The devotion, creativity, and craftsmanship poured into a single garment by a designer — that is wearable art. The serenity we feel when venturing into the mountains or stepping into a temple — that is reverence for nature, the most organic form of art. To the artist, art can be a precise calculation, a challenge to the limits, or a stirring portrayal of the masses and their stories. Art can even be a radical force for social change. Long before you ever “knew” art, it had already seeped into your everyday life. On this sleepless night, take to the familiar streets and experience the resonance created when art intervenes in the city.
