Visual Communications’ Digital Histories program presented short films on May 5 at the Aratani Theatre in Little Tokyo as part of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
“Digital Histories brings the unique perspectives of our older adult filmmakers and allows them to share their personal, yet universal ideas through their art,” said instructor Joel Quizon. “Death, camaraderie, displacement, personal passions, belonging, and the appreciation of the little things are given light through imaginative, thoughtful, and sometimes experimental ruminations on life lived today.”
The following films were screened:
“A Day Before I Die”?by David Osako. A day’s reflections on the ineffable experiences of life and dying, expressed through the Japanese American director’s memories in and around Little Tokyo.
“Buddhahead Breakfast Club”?by George Wada. The first wave of the third-generation Japanese Americans (Sansei) linked by their shared past.
“Dragon Boat”by Kevin Shore. Meet Nathan Salazar, and discover the empowering world of dragon boat racing. See what can be accomplished when the human spirit works together as one.
“Gone”by Robert Shoji. This film examines the transformation of Little Tokyo and challenges us to fight and save our community’s history and heritage before it is gone forever.
“Home Is Little Tokyo”by Steve Nagano. Artist Tony Osumi reveals how the Little Tokyo mural originated, the processes involved in its creation, and the story behind its images.
“Japanese American Legacy on Wheels”?by Mitchell Matsumura. The third- generation Japanese American car subculture that sprouted in the ’60s blossomed into an international craze featured in movies and celebrated in car shows.

“The Little Things”?by Barbara Kagawa Shore. A day meant for cleaning the garage takes an unexpected turn when an old, forgotten box is discovered. See how a dreaded task transforms into a day of joy.
“Walking the Talk”?by Fran Ito and Steve Nagano. Ann Burroughs shares her journey from being a young activist in South Africa to the current president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum.
