LOS ANGELES — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present Steven Okazaki’s 1990 Oscar-winning documentary short “Days of Waiting” on the big screen for one night only on Monday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy’s Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood.

It will be followed by Barbara Kopple’s “American Dream,” which won the Oscar for documentary feature that same year.

“Days of Waiting” tells the story of Estelle Peck Ishigo (1899-1990), a Caucasian artist who refused to be separated from her Nisei husband during the World War II mass incarceration of Japanese Americans.

Through vivid use of Ishigo’s own memoirs, photos, and paintings, as well as historic film footage, Okazaki crafts an intimate portrait of an extraordinary woman who may have otherwise been forgotten by history, and her experience in the concentration camps.

A new print of “Days of Waiting” will be screened as part of an ongoing series of the documentary shorts and feature Oscar winners from 1988 to 1997.

The “Oscar’s Docs” series is open to the general public. Tickets are $5 for non-academy members and $3 for academy members. The Linwood Dun Theater is located at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, 1313 Vine St., For information, call (310) 247-3600.
