This is one of my favoriteяdocumentary shorts.яIt was produced by a filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York.яHer name is Davina Pardo and she describes her short film Minka as "about place and memory, a farmhouse in Japan, and the lives of the people who called it home." Minka won Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary Short at the Florida Film Festival and was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Short Filmmaking by Cinema Eye Honors.
