CAAM Educational Distribution is pleased to announce the upcoming release of "Short Films Vol. 1" by Academy Award(R) winning director/producer Steven Okazaki, just in time to commemorate the August 6th and 9th anniversary dates of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, by the US government during WWII.
This compilation includes three powerful films from Okazaki's two-decade long body of work, including:
THE MUSHROOM CLUB (2005) is the filmmaker's journey to Hiroshima, sixty years after the atomic bomb drop. Okazaki first visited the city in 1980, and takes a very personal look at Hiroshima - the place, the people, the historical event, the idea. Read More>>
LIFE WAS GOOD (1996) is a moving portrait of one American family whose lives were tragically altered by the misfortune of living next to the Nevada Test Site.
HUNTING TIGERS (1988) provides an off-beat and entertaining look at life and art in Tokyo.
