And Again I Feel the Coldness of the Marble Stairs

A portrait of a seemingly ordinary house - one that holds cherished memories while also bearing the burden of abandonment and neglect.

History and Memory: For Akiko and Takashige

1991

This film is a poetic composition of recorded history and non-recorded memory. Filmmaker Rea Tajiri’s family was among the 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were imprisoned in internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. And like so many who were in the camps, Tajiri’s family wrapped their memories of that experience in a shroud of silence and forgetting. This film raises questions about collective history – questions that prompt Tajiri to daringly re-imagine and re-create what has been stolen and what has been lost.
