<div><font face="Arial">Hi, Shota,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">'Death by Hanging' and 'Boy' were both screened at the LFF
in 1969, and I would have thought most Oshima films would make the Festival in
this era. It was, however, 1983 when he got a season at the BFI and at
Edinburgh.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">BFI's 'Japan~ Contemporary Directors' in
1974 included Oshima's 'Three Resurrected Drunkards' and 'Japan~History
through Cinema' in 1975 had 'Night and Fog in Japan'.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">It's pretty likely that other cinemas would have been
showing Oshima at this time, and this was an era when the BBC gave access to
films not generally available, but I don't have details. </font></div>

Shota,<br>> <br>> Not sure about screenings of Koshikei, but the
discussion in 1976 probably has<br>> something to do with the release of Ai
no koriida that year. Wide <br>> Angle (where<br>> Heath published
"The Question Oshima") put out more than one special issue on<br>> Oshima and
Japanese cinema around 76-77, I think.<br>> <br>> -Ryan<br>> <br>>

<br>>> Hello.<br>>><br>>> I am writing a dissertation chapter
on Oshima's Death by Hanging (Koshikei<br>>> 1968) in relation to
the<br>>> "nisei mondai" of zainichi Koreans.<br>>><br>>> I am
fascinated by the fact that Stephen Heath places such importance on
the<br>>> film in his two articles "Narrative Space"<br>>> and
"Anata mo" (both in Screen, 1976).<br>>> Although there is, for a brief
period, some discussions between Heath and<br>>> Colin MacCabe on Death by
Hanging, this<br>>> only lasts for a couple of issues.<br>>> *Does
anyone know if there was a major Oshima retrospective in England or<br>>>
around that prompted scholars to write about<br>>> Death by Hanging all of
a sudden after 8 years from its release in Japan<br>>> (and the Marche du
Film at 1968 Cannes).*<br>>><br>>> Thank you and best wishes for the
holiday season.<br>>><br>>>
