She is also very interested in story-telling. Her work is certainly relevant to us as language educators in Japan. You can preview Linda's films by going to her website at www.lindaohama.com. She is currently in development with several projects including the feature films, "Perfection of the Morning" (Canada) and "Summerhouse Dreams" (Japan). The director will present her award-winning film, "Obaachan's Garden", the story of her grandmother, the last living picture bride in Canada when she passed away at nearly 105 years old. Linda will discuss her work as a filmmaker and educator, and the importance of preserving personal stories to understand the impact of history, politics,family and culture on our lives.
