A filmmaker's personal journey to reconnect with her sister, a successful potter living in the ruins of Fukushima is interlocked with her spiritual quest of bridging east and west, feminine and masculine, and shadow and light in her mind.
Tsukamoto's first feature-length hybrid documentary “My Dearest Sister” won the cinematography award from Reelworld Film Festival, and earned the best female filmmaker award, “Die Tilda” nomination at Braunschweig International Film Festival. The film was also an official selection at Raindance Film Festival, the Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM), and Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma.
It won the New Chapter grant, the Canada Council for the Arts' special program to mark the 150th Anniversary of Confederation.
