Ahhh! I can't believe I am not in Tokyo next week!!!<BR>Basically my advice
is anyone who has a chance, please go and see it. It must have been one of
the greatest cinema experiences for me in the past few years. If you pass up
this opportunity, you need your head rubbed.<BR>More info: <A

week is a poorly publicized Yamagata Doc Film Fest "play event"<BR>>
meant to foreshadow the usual "Yamagata in Tokyo" screenings in the<BR>>
fall. Next week they'll be showing Hertz Frank's 10 Minutes Older
and<BR>> Xiao Chin's Issho no toki. (those are transliterations from
katakana<BR>> there.) And I'm giving a little talk about the "musicality
of<BR>> Newsreel."<BR><BR>> But the real show is Oe Masanori's GREAT
SOCIETY. This is a 1967 film<BR>> by Oe, who was among the founders of
the New York Newsreel collective.<BR>> This film attempts to capture
"1967" on six screens. Just watching them<BR>> cue 6 projectors
simultaneously is something of a show. The film/event<BR>> was one of the
highlights of Yamagata last year. Perhaps someone that<BR>> went to one
of the screenings could describe it? Oe will be there to<BR>> talk after
the film.<BR>><BR>> athenee francaise<BR>> wednesday, July 21 from
