Welcome to the 14th Annual Films of RemembranceA message from the Nichi Bei Foundation: We welcome you to the 14th annual Films of Remembrance, the premier showcase of films commemorating the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans in American concentration camps during World War II. This year, in addition to returning to in-person screenings and discussions with filmmakers, we will once again make films available online for a global audience (with the exception of “Kintsukuroi”) from March 10 through March 24, 2025. We are also proud to provide free student access to the films again this year. The 14th annual Films of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the AMC Kabuki 8 in San Francisco’s Japantown and Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025 at the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin in San Jose’s Japantown. In addition, we will be bringing Films of Remembrance to Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo on Saturday, March 8 and to Gardena, Calif. on March 9, 2025, thanks to special partnerships with the Japanese American National Museum and the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute. Over four days, you can view both the films and participate in in-person post-film discussions. A record total of 19 films will be presented over the four events, including films exclusive to their locations. We thank our many sponsors, especially our presenting sponsors, for helping to make this happen. For those who cannot make the in-person events, the films (with the exception of “Kintsukuroi”) will be accessible to stream online from March 10 through March 24, 2025. The virtual program, however, will not include panel discussions with filmmakers. We thank all of our filmmakers for helping to keep our history alive through their dedicated work, and for helping to educate the broader public about the deprivation of civil liberties during World War II and its lessons for today. We hope that you enjoy this year’s offering of in-person and virtual programming.
