Japan in Color. Albert Kahn's Archive of the Planet
Description
It was a passion for global exploration that drove Albert Kahn to create a vast image archive, but he also felt a deep attachment to one country in particular - Japan. Although Kahn's skills as a financier gave him high-level connections there, he also held the Japanese people and their culture in high esteem. This program tells the story of the Kahn archive in the context of his personal, financial, and intellectual relationship with Japan. Along with cinematic and autochrome material from the Albert Kahn Museum, the film features interviews with distinguished Japanese historians, politicians, and business leaders, as well as descendants of Kahn's Japanese friends and associates - who share their insights into his attitudes and assess his place in Japanese history.
