<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a question on the 'Zakka' DVDs of the 2003
Tsuchimoto Afghan record-films.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There is no original sound. There's no explanation of this
on the DVDs or the booklet or anything I can put my hands on. But I think
I did learn somehow that the sound tracks for his Afghan work were lost.
The only place I can think that I might have learnt that is in Fujiwara Toshi's
2006 doc., <EM>Eiga wa ikimono no kiroku de aru: Tsuchimoto Noriaki no
shigoto</EM>. Or is this written up anywhere else ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But these films are from unreleased footage of <EM>Afghan
Spring = Yomigaere karézu</EM>, 1989. I've not seen that. Does it have original
sound? Since an internet description says it's built up from interviews (as
you'd normally expect from a Tsuchimoto film), I presume it did. Can anyone help
me fill in the gaps, please ?</FONT></DIV>
