Incidentally, the Director's Fortnight in Cannes is showing a new version of Hotaru, re-edited by Kawase and running 110 minutes. The screening is May 14 at 2pm.<br>I can't find any details about print source or international rights on the Fortnight's website nor in their presskit. Maybe in the catalogue.<br><br>Tom<br><br>Midnight Eye<br>http://www.midnighteye.com<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 09:03:38 -0700<br>From: zian25@yahoo.com<br>To: KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<br>Subject: Re: Naomi Kawase's Hotaru foreign rightsholders<br><br>

Dear Kinejapanners,<div><br></div><div>I was wondering if anyone could tell me who handles the overseas screening rights for Naomi Kawase's Hotaru at the moment. I think it was originally Wild Bunch, but this was when the film was made years ago, so I wonder if their rights have relapsed by now.</div><div><br></div><div>Jasper Sharp<br><br><span>Midnight Eye
