More Japanese cinematic related events for Londoners early next year, in a
mammoth Akira Kurosawa retrospective at the National Film Theatre on the
South Bank.
Part one of the season is taking place through the whole of January, though
I don't have any information on Part 2 in the NFT boklet(presumably the
whole of February).
The first part seems to cover all of the director's films up until 1957's
THRONE OF BLOOD, which will receive an extended run throughout the first
half of January, with lesser known works such as SCANDAL / SHUBUN, ONE
WONDERFUL SUNDAY / SUBARASHIKI NICHIYOBI and THEY WHO STEP ON THE TIGERS
TAIL / TORA NO O O FUMU OKOTOTACHI nestling alongside RASHOMON and IKIRU.
Should prove to be rather a fast for Londoners, though I can't help wishing
that the British Film Institute were a little less conservative when it
comes to Japanese cinema.

The Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy Foundation held
the 7th annual Marc Davis Lecture on Animation on the topic of
Japanese Animation on Nov. 14.
This years lecture was actually a panel including Mitsuhisa Ishikawa
(producer of _Ghost in the Shell_) and Kunihiko Ikuhara (director of
_Revolutionary Girl Utena_).
There's a too-brief report on this event at:
http://www.akadot.com/ikuni/academy_report.html
Does anyone know of a more detailed account?

Hey KJ-ers,
Just wanted to say a few words about my new book TokyoScope: The Japanese
Cult Film Companion (not Corporation as was reported here and in the
Publishers Group West catalog!), which indeed does feature a Foreward by
Kinji Fukasaku and an Afterword by Takashi Miike.
The book is officially out, and although on-line dealers such as Amazon and
Barnes & Noble don't list it as being in stock yet, the mail order
department of the publisher (Viz/Cadence) has it ready to ship and copies
are just beginning to pop up in stores. Until the big guys here in the
states get around to stocking something more than Lord of the Rings and
Harry Potter tie-ins, interested parties who want TokyoScope sooner rather
than later should go to http://store.viz.com/products.asp?dept=909
Regarding the contents of TokyoScope itself, several excerpts from the book
can be found at http://pulp-mag.com/books/tokyoscope/index.shtml
They include the complete table of contents, Kinji's Foreword, the
introduction, a review of "The Tattooed Hitman", a survey of Toei's "Pinky
Violence" films, and a profile of Dead or Alive star Riki Takeuchi
Thanks in advance to all interested parties!!

I very much need to obtain a translation of the intertitles in Heinosuke
Gosho's 1933 silent classic, "Izu no Odoriko." If any subscriber to
KineJapan would be willing to provide me with a translation, I'll send them a
copy of the video which includes a "benshi" accompaniment by Shunsui Matsuda.
The translator will receive full credit for their assistance in any project
or article that may result from this assistance.
