Fremont’s Ohlone College is hosting a screening of Kintsukuroi, featuring a question-and-answer session with the filmmakers, this spring.
The independent film screening is being held in honor of AAPI month, with director Kerwin Berk and key actors set to appear.
The World War II drama follows the history of Japanese American internment camps, with two families as the main focus. As the families make their way through forced incarceration and onto European battles, the theme emerges of finding one’s own path in an uncertain world.
Berk, the director, is a third-generation Japanese American whose father was an American soldier and whose mother was a Japanese American. With San Francisco’s Japantown serving as his place of birth, Berk has over 25 years of experience as a journalist.
Now an independent filmmaker and founder of Ikeibi Films, Berk’s film takes some inspiration from the real-life WWII incarceration of his mother and her family at the Topaz Relocation Center in Utah.
The screening, made possible through a co-sponsorship by the Ohlone College Foundation and the Multicultural Student Center, will feature refreshments for those who register online.
Theater screenings like this may use brochure printing to create audience programs, Q&A discussion guides and movie information.
The 2024 film Kintsukuroi is screening on Monday, April 27 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the G Craig Jackson main stage theatre of the Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts at Ohlone College at 43600 Mission Blvd in Fremont.
