Remember your roots with these affectionate, heartstring-pulling shorts about families of all kinds, blemishes and all. Featuring home movies and oral histories, in documentary as well as narrative films. Co-presented with Seattle Asian American Film Festival!
Watch this program in person at NWFF, Sep. 17 at 4pm. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes and Individual Tickets are available!
⚠️ Please note: NWFF patrons will be required to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. We are not currently checking vaccination cards. Read full Covid policies here.
Through the story of a Japanese-Canadian fisherman's internment during WW2, Blue Garden explores how unspoken family histories can cause trauma to fester over generations. By the same token, the telling of those histories through the participatory process of documentary filmmaking can be an intergenerational healing process with the power to reconcile deep grief.
