“Our Mr. Matsura” is a feature documentary that explores the remarkable life and work of Frank Matsura, a Japanese immigrant photographer who made his home in rural Washington State in the early 1900s. Through his lens, Matsura captured a vibrant and diverse community of Native people, ranchers, miners, homesteaders, and small-town residents, creating more than 4,000 photographs that challenge traditional narratives of the American West.
Blending history, art, and personal storytelling, the film highlights Matsura’s unique perspective, playful creativity, and enduring legacy as both an artist and community builder. “Our Mr. Matsura” offers a fresh look at life on the frontier and celebrates the power of photography to connect people across cultures and generations.
NR; 97 min.
$10 Adult; Free for Members. Museum admission sold separately.
