| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the localized histories and identities of Asian Calgarians by examining their home movies, asking broadly: how are the visual histories of Calgary and its Asian immigrant population reflected in home movies? The project draws on earlier work from amateur cinema and film studies discourse and calls attention to the visual histories of four ethnic groups and the meanings behind their home movie making practices. Findings include the stories of the individuals and families, commonalities between similar projects, themes uncommon in existing home movie literature, and subjective images imbued with history and culture. By conducting a series of case studies inspired by ethnographic style interviews as well as textual and contextual analysis, my project identifies unique characteristics of Southeast and Northeast Asian Canadian home movies and shows why they are worthy not only of research and study but preservation for future generations. | en_US |
