We feature mix-raced experience through 2 independent films: “Mon pays ma vie” and “Hafu”. Both of them are played by a mix-raced characters and they are struggling to find own identity.
"Mon pay ma vie" is a debut short film by Tsukuha Niwano who is currently a student at the University of Paris. The film was selected for short film corner at the 66th Cannes Film Festival and we found it in the place. The character, half Japanese and French, explores own identity through a real incident involving the earthquake and tsunami which were struck Japan in March, 2011.
"Hafu" was found in UPLINK in Tokyo -a film theater that arguably provides the most support to independent films and filmmakers. The characters are struggling to find own identity through the ordinary life in Japan.
