Speaker Series Report
On December 5, JETAA was pleased to invite Eri Asai to come to the Japan Foundation to speak about her experiences as a Japanese film maker in Canada.
Ms. Asai screened two short films and discussed her experiences in a creative field while juggling the roles of wife, mother of two, immigrant and university student.
The first film presented, Momiji, was a short film based on her experiences as a newcomer to Canada. Screened at Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival in November, Momiji is a window in the mind of the director and her experiences raising a family in a new country. The second documentary, Stray Dogs, is a look at a romantic relationship in progress.
