I'm considering writing an essay on the reception of Japanese cinema in Britain during 1920s and 30s. Right now, I'm searching for the basic resources to study, but is there any Japanese silent film of any form (print/VHS/DVD) that is out in UK? Or is there an institution that has collections of Japanese silent films? (BFI?) Any information regarding the topic would be appreciated. Thank you. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
