The Power of Film Against the Landscape – From Yamagata to Bradford
Yamagata and Bradford are both UNESCO Creative Cities of Film and take pride in the city’s beautiful landscape as a filming location.
Ms. Louisa Rose Mackleston, a filmmaker based in Bradford, visited Yamagata in May 2022, and Yamagata offered her to make a five-minute documentary film as a collaborative project of Bradford and Yamagata. The film compares Bradford and Yamagata's surrounding scenery and associates it with the city’s film commission activities.
