DESCRIPTION:DOCUMENTARY ABOUT JAPANESE AMERICANS LIVING IN JAPAN TO SCREEN 
 IN THE LOS ANGELES ASIAN PACIFIC FILM FESTIVAL\n\nFinding Home\, a one-hou
 r documentary\, is the latest effort by Southern California-based media ar
 tist and LMU Professor\, Art Nomura. Supported by a 2003-04 Fulbright Rese
 arch Grant\, Nomura spent the fall/winter of 2003 in Japan capturing visua
 ls and conducting interviews for this project. This updated version of the
  documentary features a revised voiceover by the video maker and additiona
 l visual elements. Art Nomura will be present for a Q & A session after th
 e film's screening.\n\nFinding Home is about Japanese Americans who have d
 ecided to live in Japan rather than America. The video examines what they 
 have gained and lost with this decision. The six Japanese Americans featur
 ed were selected from an initial interview pool of fifty individuals.  Res
 ponses to questions about lifestyle\, identity\, personal evolution\, and 
 choice of residence\,  provide insight into the expatriate experience of t
 hose who have chosen to live in their ancestral homeland.  Additionally\, 
 Nomura\, a sansei (third generation Japanese American)\, and a first-time 
 visitor to Japan at age 57\, shares his impressions of Japan throughout th
 e documentary.\n\nMany of the people interviewed for Finding Home are feat
 ured in the Real People section of the Discover Nikkei website. Art Nomura
  is currently writing a book on the larger experience of producing the doc
 umentary and living in Japan. It is slated for release later this year. \n
 \nFinding Home will screen at 7:30 pm\, May 9\, 2006 at the recently compl
 eted National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at the Japanese Ame
 rican National Museum in Los Angeles. Directions to the Center and Museum
