Moving Images, Telling Stories

Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
(Please note new venue.)

Film and video are powerful tools used for generations to document, reflect, and influence people and culture. The Japanese American National Museum’s 2016 Gala Dinner will focus on the museum’s significant collection of moving images and how these compelling first-person resources have helped portray the Japanese American story as an integral part of the broader American narrative.

Honorees will include Karen L. Ishizuka and Robert A. Nakamura, who founded the museum’s Frank H. Watase Media Arts Center and pioneered its unparalleled collection of home movies and video life histories, and Ken Burns, the award-winning filmmaker who has made extensive use of JANM’s media assets while reaching a mass worldwide audience.
