<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Welcome, Amanda,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I expect you are aware of the film by LU Chuan,
<EM>Nanjing, Nanjing!</EM> that I mentioned recently in a posting about the
London Film Festival, but you might want to consider whether to include the new
film by Florian GALLENBERGER, <EM>John Rabe</EM>. I have a ticket for the
screening in London on 3rd December. Unfortunately the blurbs for that
festival only give plot details without mentioning the filmmaking, but I know it
has German, Japanese and Chinese actors, with dialogue in those languages and
location shooting in Shanghai. I suggest you contact the Goethe-Institut
in Tokyo and ask them about a screening, which might interest some other
list-members.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The extent to which depictions from various countries
are screened, or not, in their 'other' is, of course, highly relevant to an
international medium and industry. I asked at the panel in Tokyo this year
on <EM>Lust, Caution</EM>, what the reception history of that film was in Japan,
but no one had an answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Unfortunately, the literature that I have seems
to cover depictions prior to 2000, so I will look at other postings with
interest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>best wishes,</FONT></DIV>
