OMOIYARI | SXSW 2022 | Film Threat Festivals
8Bradley Gibson reviews OMOIYARI as part of our SXSW 2022 coverage. Join the Film Threat writers for a lively discussion.
When a media interview links the muslim ban and the immigration crisis at the USA-Mexico border with the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during WWII, Kishi Bashi goes on a journey to learn about this history and its relevance. Along the way, he improvises and writes music in an effort to better understand his own identity as a bi-cultural American. Using never before seen archival footage from the camps, mixed with breathtaking visual storytelling, Kishi Bashi weaves a story using history, music and current events to create a portrait of America from the perspective of someone caught between two worlds.
Director: Kaoru Ishibashi, Justin Taylor Smith
Starring: Kishi Bashi
