“The Displaced View” traces a personal search for identity and pride, within the unique and suppressed history of the Japanese in Canada. Through an examination of the emotional and cultural links between the women of one family, the processes of the construction of memory and the re-construction of history are revealed. Utilizing an innovative combination of experimental, dramatic and documentary forms, the film emerges as a deeply moving and compassionate love letter. Just as the official history of the Japanese Canadians has been thrown into question, so does the film’s fictionalized narrative question doumentary as truth.

In 1993, Amy Bodman took a small crew to Zimbabwe to make a film about land as a living entity. Quietly told through the voice of Zimbabweans, THE LIMITS OF WHAT WE KNOW documents the changing landscape of Zimbabwe and its people’s relationship to it. Part travel log, part environmental study and part meditation on life itself, the film reveals nature’s mysterious tenacity in the face of great change. Although the film initially appears to be a portrait of Zimbabwe, THE LIMITS OF WHAT WE KNOW culminates as a heart-felt picture of our changing world as it struggles to compensate for the ever-increasing dominance of the human race. “Bodman’s simple yet lyrical film is reminiscent of ethnographic filmmakers such as Robert Gardner or Judith and David MacDougall, creating a filmic document that is both humble and generous to its subjects, with the conversation framing a sharp and universal analysis. The scenes and chapters that make up The Limits of What We Know stand as documents: quiet portraits of a people and their environment. It is a film as much about the specifics of this time and place as it is about a broader disconnect between civilizations and the ecosystems upon which they subsist. It is a film that looks at tradition as a model for future development, and history as a guide.” – Pablo de Ocampo, Images Festival Winner of the Technicolor Cinematic Vision Award, Images Festival, 2009 “A tender portrait of Zimbabwe through the people and the land from ancient times to the present.” – Sue F.

“GRAINS OF SALT” provides an innovative perspective on the Holocaust. Holocaust survivors’ accounts of how talking about food helped cope with the incredible hunger are interwoven with their poignant stories about life in the concentration camps. We also see how, after being released from the camps, the memory of starvation affects their religious beliefs. The film contributes to our understanding of both past and present conditions where extreme food deprivation has severely impacted peoples’ lives both psychologically as well as physically.
