Displaced View -- Film Description:
"Midi Onodera's The Displaced View deals with an increasingly common late twentieth century dilemma: floating anchorless in the multicultural world. An elegantly understated examination of the cultural, behavioural and ideological distances between the filmmaker (a third-generation Japanese-Canadian) and the two generations of women who preceded her, the film is a touching and unfailingly intelligent account of a search for an ever-diminishing sense of cultural identity."
