This talk addresses how Noriaki Tsuchimoto’s film *Minamata Diaries* (2004)
and Levitas’ film *Minamata* (2020) tell the story of the poisoning of an
inland sea and its fisherfolk by toxic methyl-mercury. Both films juxtapose
still and moving images to depict the tragic damage visited on this place
and its denizens by this disease, now called Minamata disease. Yet only one
provides us with an ecocritical temporality that visually attends to the
damaged environment as subject. Marran shows the relevance of making
reclamation land the primary cinematic landscape in Tsuchimoto’s film and
how this approach to landscape stages a visual allegoresis of living on a
damaged planet.

Cinema that addresses the impacts of toxins in an environment will
inevitably need to commit to a sense of time and place. Films can present
other-than-human temporal frameworks or treat environmental damage within a
human generational temporality. The sense of temporality created in the
film will make all the difference in terms of who and what become the
subject of the film.
