I remember having asked that question about Tamura's name some months ago, for there is indeed an ambiguity about it, from several archives and film reports... By that times most of the contributors agreed about Tsutomu... And so did Yoshida Kijû, who knew him quite well as a matter of fact...<br>

<div><font face="Arial">Apologies for talking to myself, but to update my previous
posting, the BFI have found the filmography for '100 Years', in their
rights department. They intend to put it up on their BID/SIFT database
after checking against the print when it returns from tour, but if anyone is
interested, I am free to circulate it or post it. There's about 120 titles
including 30 clips, in running order.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">People have commented elsewhere on the eccentricity, and
Ōshimacentricity of the list, but it has its own coherency. For example,
the single film is quoted of <span style="font-size: 12pt;">TAMURA
Takeshi who was, of course, mainly Ōshima's writer. (And am I right to
prefer 'Takeshi' to the 'Tsutomu' on the BFI document ?) Personally, I'd
rather see a film season built from this list than another completist
retrospective of one director.</span></font></div>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">Last night, the
BFI showed Ōshima’s ‘100 Years of Japanese Cinema’.<span> </span>This morning, I suggested that they
could drop from their notes one particularly inaccurate article and just put a
filmography of the clips used.<span> </span>This
they were happy to do, except that, despite being a BFI film, they cannot find
any documentation.<span> </span>This is all the
more surprising since since most of the reviews say the films are uncredited,
yet this print had all the films credited via english subtitle.<span> </span>The list of clips (as opposed to stills)
is not that long – I can remember a dozen and there may have been a handful
more.<span> </span>Does anyone know where this
can be obtained ?</font></p>
