Reel Memories: Asian American Home Movies Screening

Location:
Japanese Baptist Church

160 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122

Time:
1 PM Saturday, April 5th, 2024

Embracing home movies as artifacts instrumental in remembering and reimagining Asian American histories, Reel Memories seeks to create a communal space for sharing domestic cinema recorded by families from the Greater Seattle Area. This intentional engagement with home movies is an attempt at addressing the urgency of preserving and amplifying Asian American cultural memories which, in this case, are entangled in the precarious materiality of celluloid film. 

Our very first public screening will highlight local home movies from the Koura family, UW Special Collections, and Bainbridge History Museum. Please join us for an afternoon of historic films and storytelling at the iconic Japanese Baptist Church in Seattle.
