Did it ever screen outside Japan? Amazing how a film can disappear in three years now. As a festival programmer, I'm getting links to screeners that expire in a week or less. Films like AOKIGAHARA are the new silent cinema. The film's website is now offline. All that exists are some low-resolution images of the film elsewhere on the web.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">AOKIGAHARA is not on FestivalScope, which has some of the TIFF films going back to 2013. But AOKIGAHARA was in the Special Screenings section, so wouldn't have been there anyway. Perhaps Skip City can arrange a screening for you if you visit their office, since they screened it ahead of Tokyo IFF in 2012. Otherwise, yes, try Ark Entertainment.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Stephen</div> <br> <div id="bloop_sign_1450073009489935872" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px"><br></div></div> <br><p class="airmail_on">On 14 December 2015 at 02:33:19, Lindsay Nelson (<a href="mailto:lindsayrebeccanelson@gmail.com">lindsayrebeccanelson@gmail.com</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div></div><div>

<div>Does anyone know where I might find a copy of "Aokigahara," a
film by Taku Shinjo based on a novella by Shintaro Ishihara that
screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2012? It
doesn't seem to be available in any of the usual places (video
rental stores, Amazon, libraries), and a direct email I sent to the
director was returned undeliverable. Should I try emailing the
distributor (Ark Entertainment)?<br>

Thank you,<br>
