Another avant-garde semi-documentary which deals with immigration
(and colonialism and family) and is similar in style to the work of
Friedrich, is Annie Goldson's 'Wake', from here in New Zealand.

I have also just been lucky enough to see the brilliant cut-out
animation 'Songs of the Immigrant Bride' by the NZer working in
Australia, Jill Carter-Hansen.  Look out for this in festivals.
