Finding Home (DVD)
Produced, Directed and Edited by Art
Nomura
Finding Home, a 52 minute documentary,
is the latest effort by Southern California-based media
artist and Loyola Marymount University Professor, Art
Nomura. Supported by a 2003-04 Fulbright Research Grant,
Nomura spent the fall/winter of 2003 in Japan capturing
visuals and conducting interviews for this project.
Finding Home is about Japanese Americans
who have decided to live in Japan rather than America.
The video examines what they have gained and lost with
this decision. The six Japanese Americans featured
responded to questions about lifestyle, identity, personal
evolution, and choice of residence provide fresh insight
into the expatriate experience for those who have chosen
to live in their ancestral homeland. Nomura, a sansei (third
generation Japanese American), and a first-time visitor
to Japan at age 57, shares his impressions of being
in Japan throughout the documentary.
