Yuki Yoshida (* around 1914 in Vancouver ) is a Japanese-Canadian film editor and film producer . In 1978 , Yoshida and Beverly Shaffer received an Oscar for I'll Find a Way in the Best Short Film category .

Life

In the summer of 1944, towards the end of the First World War , Yoshida and her sister left the internment camp in Tashme , British Columbia . After her mother's death in 1925, Yoshida did not return to school when she was eleven, so that, unlike her sister, she had no schooling. Even when the war was over, she had no reason to catch up with school; the chances of getting a job were too uncertain at the time. In addition, the career idea was alien to most women of Yoshida's generation, especially if, like Yoshida, they grew up in rural Japanese communities.

In the late 1940s, Yoshida got a job with the National Film Board of Canada in Ottawa , where she worked as an editor from the mid-1960s, including the films Ducks, of Course  (1966) and Tuktu and the Snow Palace  (1967) . In 1975 she became a technical producer at Studio D, a women's production unit that was created in response to a government directive for more women in technical professions. Shortly before retiring in 1978, Yoshida was a member of the team that won an Oscar for the film I'll Find a Way . In the film, among other things, she processes her own childhood memories.
