  AsiaLENS | "Our Mr. Matsura" (Film Screening + In-Person Discussion w/ Filmmaker Beth Harrington)

  5:30 pm

  Spurlock Museum, Knight Auditorium 600 S Gregory St, Urbana, IL 61801

  Our Mr. Matsura, a feature documentary film, is the story of photographer Frank Matsura who journeyed from his native Japan to live in rural Washington State in the early 1900s. The film presents a picture of the “frontier” that departs from the existing popular culture narrative and celebrates the singular contribution of a community-building immigrant artist in America.
