Celebrating the Community Film: the Topaz Footage and "Something Strong Within"

Special Community Event

The Hollywood Reporter called the induction of this amateur film footage into the National Film Registry the “biggest surprise of the year.” Selections from the footage taken by amateur filmmaker Dave Tatsuno in Topaz, one of America’s concentration camps, will be screened along with the award-winning documentary Something Strong Within, and other amateur films. A panel discussion and reception immediately follow the screenings.

Join Master of Ceremonies Huell Howser, producer and host of KCET’s California’s Gold, for this evening of community film. Co-sponsored by the Association of Moving Image Archivists, The Getty Resesarch Institute for the History of Art and the Humanities, the Japanese American Community & Cultural Center, and the Japanese American National Museum.
