A one-night-only film event where you can enjoy movies with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in hand. The event will also feature films making their Japanese premiere.

With the cool evening breezes of this time of year, why not watch a movie outdoors with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in hand?

A platform centered on architectural thinking where users independently conduct their own research and experimental design, “DDAA LAB" and the collective "," which aims to foster a sustainable coexistence between nature, people, and culture from the perspective of "food,"Terrain" will host a one-night-only film event titled "Ikejiri Service Station Film Night: Roadside Landscape" at the site of a former gas station along Route 246.

The venue will be the same place where, just the other day, “Ikejiri Wart Fair" was held at the site of a former gas station along Route 246. For a limited time, before the site is transformed into its next facility, a special open-air cinema will take shape in this space, preserved exactly as it was to preserve the memories of the gas station.

On the day of the event, a total of three films will be screened: *Powers of Ten* by Charles and Ray Eames, Babette Mangolt’s *Visible Cities*—making its Japanese premiere—and Justin Time’s *Chasing Houses*.

7:00 p.m.–7:09 p.m. “Powers of Ten” (1977 | Charles & Ray Eames | 9 minutes)
From a lakeside picnic to the far reaches of the universe, and on to the world of atoms. Nine minutes that span different scales of perception.

7:30 p.m.–8:01 p.m. *Visible Cities* (1991 | Babette Mangoldt | 31 min.) *Japanese premiere*
Babette Mangolt, who served as cinematographer on Chantal Akerman’s films, explores the themes of the city, ownership, and a sense of belonging through the story of two women searching for a home in the suburbs of Southern California.

8:20 p.m.–9:20 p.m. “Chasing Houses” (2017 | Justin Time | 60 min.) *Japanese premiere*

And, "Massif"Overview CoffeeA stand will also open where you can enjoy wine, coffee, and light snacks from “” on a cash-only basis.

Finally, please read the message regarding the event.

The area known as “Ikejiri” was named after what was once the shore of a large pond. It is said that long ago, travelers walking along the ancient Tōkaidō Road would stop here to get water. As times changed, these watering spots transformed into gas stations where people driving along National Route 246 now fill up their tanks.

Furthermore, new spaces such as gas stations, motels, and drive-ins—which sprang up along roadsides with the spread of automobiles in the 20th century—have shaped a unique cultural landscape known as the “roadside” and have served as settings for numerous films and other visual works.

This project takes place starting from this “former gas station”—a place where travelers once rested their feet and cars once refueled. From lakeside picnics to the vastness of the cosmos, and from the California suburbs to a journey through the American West in a mobile home—as we retrace the roadside landscapes and memories of travel captured in film, we reexamine the traces that the automobile-driven society has left on our cities and daily lives, as well as the dynamics surrounding “mobility and settlement.”

Set in a location currently in transition to its next phase, please enjoy a special evening where the memories of this place intersect with the vision of the film.
