Who’s Going to Pay for These Donuts Anyway? + Finding Christa

Who’s Going to Pay for These Donuts Anyway? 
Dir. Janice Tanaka. 1992, 58 mins. U.S. DCP. 

Finding Christa  
Dirs. Camille Billops, James Hatch. 1991, 55 mins. U.S. Digital projection. 

Janice Tanaka and Camille Billops embark on journeys to reunite separated families. Tanaka seeks a father lost to mental illness following a stint in the WWII Japanese internment camps; Billops reunites with a daughter she gave up for adoption 20 years earlier. Through their stories, each filmmaker redefines the dynamics between parent and child and explores the unsettling bond of generational trauma that defines many lives in marginalized America. Both films employ unconventional forms and artifice to bring viewers closer to family tragedies. Finding Christa won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival.
