<P>Hi there,</P>
<P>I am working on programming for a film festival in the UK, and would very much like to include retrospectives of one or more Japanese directors or stars. We'd also like to invite people over for 'screentalk' events...</P>
<P>Does anyone happen to know whether the following people have sufficient skills in English to enable them to participate in an on-stage interview:</P>
<P>Kore-eda Hirokazu</P>
<P>Tsukamoto Shinya</P>
<P>Ichikawa Jun</P>
<P>Nakata Hideo</P>
<P>Asano Tadanobu</P>
<P>Hiroki Ryuichi</P>
<P>Kurosawa Kiyoshi</P>
<P>Miike Takashi</P>
<P>From what I can gather from DVD extras and TV clips, I suspect the answer may be none of them... Is this correct?</P>
<P>Appologies in advance for the rather subjective nature of the question!</P>
<P> </P>
