<DIV>Name: Mia Webster<BR>Institutional affiliation or job: Visual researcher for CBC / Radio-Canada (French language Canadian public broadcaster)<BR>City and country: Montréal, Canada<BR>Research projects or publications: Currently working on doc on WWII<BR>Interests with regard to Japanese film and moving image media: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For this current documentary project, I would like to view the following two Japanese films:<BR>- Chokoreto to heitai (Chocolate and soldiers), directed by Takeshi Sato, first aired in Osaka Nov 30, 1938<BR>- Nishizumi Senshacho-Den (The Story of Tank Commander Nishizumi), directed by Kosaburo Yoshimura, first aired at the Kokusai cinema, Nov 29, 1940<BR><BR>I haven't been able to find them on the web, at Amazon.ca nor Amazon.com, at any of our specialized video stores, at zip.ca... I contacted the Kawakita Memorial Film Institute in Japon, as well as The Asian Film Archives but they couldn't help. I searched the websites of the National Film Center of the NMOMA in Tokyo, and NHK but have come up with nothing. I also contacted the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre here in Montreal, the Canada-Japan Society, the Japanese consulat of Canada, the Japan Society of New York, the Center for Asian American Media, and the Canadian association of Asiatic Studies, but no-one was able to offer any other suggestions of where I might find these.<BR><BR>Anyone have any ideas?<BR><BR>Thank you, much appreciated,</DIV>
