Cultures crossing continents. In Nikkei, director Kaori Flores Yonekura tells the story of her grandparents\u2019 intrepid journey from Japan to Peru to Venezuela. Along the way, their personal search for a new home is set against the larger backdrop of the history of Japanese immigration to Latin America: from servitude in Peru, to the anti-Japanese media campaigns in World War II, to propaganda and promises of a better life in Venezuela. Nikkei is a fascinating and artfully constructed documentary that uses photographs, animation and personal testimony to reconstruct a subject of Latin American history that is rarely presented in cinema.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Nikkei es el relato de la b\u00fasqueda de una identidad cultural cruzando continentes. La directora Kaori Flores Yonekura narra la historia de sus abuelos quienes hicieron el audaz viaje de Jap\u00f3n a Per\u00fa, llegando hasta Venezuela; un viaje que tambi\u00e9n nos transporta al contexto general de la inmigraci\u00f3n asi\u00e1tica hacia Am\u00e9rica Latina, pasando por la esclavitud en los campos peruanos y las campa\u00f1as medi\u00e1ticas antijaponesas durante la Segunda Guerra mundial. Nikkei es un retrato fascinante, que utiliza animaci\u00f3n y fotograf\u00eda, para documentar este testimonio personal que reconstruye un tema escasamente representado en el cine latinoamericano actual.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W96i8gKeK_I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; text-align: left;\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/eventbrite.com\/tickets-external?eid=17658710679&amp;ref=etckt\" width=\"100%\" height=\"247\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"5\" marginheight=\"5\" scrolling=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px 0 5px; margin: 2px; width: 100%; text-align: left;\"><a class=\"powered-by-eb\" style=\"color: #dddddd; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/r\/etckt\" target=\"_blank\">Powered by Eventbrite<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>About VEFFNY&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>VEFFNY, founded by Irene Yibirin, the Venezuelan Film Festival in New York -VEFFNY-\u00a0previously known as FesNuCive is a carefully curated film festival with the commitment to show the very best of the new Venezuelan cinema to the New York audience -a Window into Venezuela and it\u2019s people trough the lens of the most important directors of this South American country, home of one of the most promising new industries\u00a0in the region.
