Dear Kenneth,<br><br>Have you tried contacting the animator/graphic designer Ryohei Yanagihara for advice? He has been passionate about the Yokohama shipping industry since he was a child and has been working for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines for a long time now. I've heard that he still lives in Yokohama. If anyone would know what to show at such an event, I bet he would.<br>
<br>Here's a link <a href="http://www.mol.co.jp/yanagihara.shtml">http://www.mol.co.jp/yanagihara.shtml</a> <br><br>The site doesn't just showcase the art that Yanagihara has produced for the shipping lines, but has a great gallery of old posters for the shipping industry.<br>
<br>Look forward to hearing more about your project,<br>Cathy<br><br><a href="http://nishikataeiga.blogspot.com">http://nishikataeiga.blogspot.com</a><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 1:48 AM, Ken Shima <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nihoneiga1960@gmail.com">nihoneiga1960@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Films that explore the interconnection of industry and confluence of cultures that take place in port cities and that place Yokohama as a contrasting urban space to Tokyo.<br>
<br>
Since I have yet to see a program like this I wanted to ask people's recommendations of films that are set or deal with the space of Yokohama or other ports of trade in Japan (Yokosuka, Kobe, Hakodate etc). In terms of time period I'm most interested in the 50s-70s. Some examples of what I've been thinking of are "Mondays with Yuka/月曜日のユカ" and "Pigs and Battleships/豚と軍艦".<br>
<br>
Any other films that you can think of that fit these criteria?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
<br>
