With footage spanning over eighty years, from the 1940s to the present, this library includes a wide range of projects that represent diverse viewpoints on this important episode in U.S. history.\r\n\r\nThe earliest films in this library were created while the incarceration was still ongoing. Jointly produced by the War Relocation Authority and the Office of War Information, these films depicted the incarceration as benignly as possible and highlighted opportunities outside of the West Coast exclusion area, both to encourage incarcerated Japanese Americans to “resettle” in areas outside the restricted area and to encourage other Americans to accept Japanese Americans as neighbors. After decades of silence following the war, documentary films in the 1970s and 1980s—produced in the context of the Redress Movement—told a different story of racism, hardship, and forced removal and incarceration, including many works told from the perspective of Japanese Americans themselves. In the aftermath of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, an era of public funding began in the 1990s, which brought a flood of both documentary and narrative films that look at many aspects of the incarceration story.\r\n\r\nEach of the films included in this collection is accompanied by an article in the Densho Resource Guide to Media on the Japanese American Removal and Incarceration (https://resourceguide.densho.org/). Each article includes a synopsis, background information, production credits, and suggestions for further viewing, as well as links to relevant articles in Densho’s online encyclopedia (https://encyclopedia.densho.org/). \r\n\r\nThere are two primary purposes for this project: preservation and education.\r\n\r\nIt is an unfortunate fact of film history that large numbers of important films are ultimately lost to time. While the earliest government-produced films about the incarceration are readily available, a large percentage of films from the Redress era are difficult to find thirty and forty years later. With the generation of filmmakers who produced these early works aging and even passing on, this is a crucial time to preserve these works for posterity. Internet Archive (https://archive.org/) and its robust infrastructure represent the best way to ensure the preservation and availability of these films. \r\n\r\nAs current events bring renewed interest in the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans, the demand for relevant educational materials increases. While recent years have seen large amounts of materials made available online—including archival documents, photographs, and online exhibitions from the National Archives, university libraries, and community organizations, such as Densho—there has not been any systematic effort to collect and preserve film and video in particular. As such, this collection represents an important archive for both historians and educators, whether to show films in classes or to explore the evolution of how the incarceration story has been told over time.\r\n\r\nDensho intends to continue adding films to this digital library, and we encourage the public, as well as filmmakers themselves, to suggest additional titles for inclusion.\r\n\r\nWe hope that the Digital Library of Japanese American Incarceration Films can both serve as a resource to help educators and researchers tell the story of the World War II incarceration, while also helping to preserve this important event’s rich filmic legacy.\r\n\r\nThe Digital Library of Japanese American Incarceration Films was created by Densho (https://densho.org/) in collaboration with Internet Archive (https://archive.org/), and was funded, in part, by a grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program (https://www.nps.gov/jacs/). The views and conclusions contained in the films in this library are those of the filmmakers and producers and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government, Densho, or Internet Archive.\r\n\r\nSee this collection in the Digital Library of the Japanese American Incarceration Films at the Internet Archive.","links_children":"ddr-densho-1024","language":[""],"contributor":"Densho","public":"1","rights":"cc","status":"completed","search_hidden":"","download_large":"ddr-densho-1024-17-mezzanine-8f213b2ab6-a.jpg"}],"query":{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"Department of the Interior","fields":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"],"analyze_wildcard":false,"allow_leading_wildcard":false,"default_operator":"AND"}},"aggs":{"facility":{"nested":{"path":"facility"},"aggs":{"facility_ids":{"terms":{"field":"facility.id","size":1000}}}},"format":{"terms":{"field":"format"}},"genre":{"terms":{"field":"genre"}},"rights":{"terms":{"field":"rights"}},"topics":{"nested":{"path":"topics"},"aggs":{"topics_ids":{"terms":{"field":"topics.id","size":1000}}}}},"_source":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"]}}
