Duane Kubo

An experimental narrative by Duane Kubo—co-founder of Visual Communications—City City offers a vibrant, abstract view of contemporary Los Angeles, where optical print effects and an eclectic soundtrack intertwine to reflect the city’s energy and complexity. Made in collaboration with motion graphics artist Donna Deitch (who would later direct the landmark Desert Hearts), the film is a sensory exploration of urban life and the diverse communities that shape it.

Celebrates the music and influences of contemporary Asian American culture on Dan Kuramoto, June Okida Kuramoto, and Johnny Mori — three musicians who make up the core of the jazz fusion band Hiroshima. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Visual Communications in 2011.

The film looks back at the life of a man named Oda and other Japanese Americans through the decades as they face great challenges and joys living in the United States.
