<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br><br>Thank you Matteo for drawing our attention to this sad news about Takagi Ryūtarō. I never had a chance to see Takagi-san in person (quite unfortunately), but I’d just like to note that there is a new documentary about him and his works, titled <i>Hyōgen ni chikara ariya</i> (2016). The film was co-produced by Murayama Hideyo, the director of Documentary Film Preservation Center (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__kirokueiga-2Dhozon.jp&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=11thoz7pfGUssbHStuIGZFGsM7voaIEtYSUcGrFITgw&s=UhOXgyzTqou4pw-I5sDden8-2CpXcpmomcpFhBn4LzU&e=">Kiroku Eiga Hozon Sentā</a>), where hundreds of short educational films and PR documentaries are being housed, including several works by Takagi, who started his career at Iwanami in 1960.<br><br>The Center is eager to put out an English-subtitled version of the documentary if the opportunity arises. The film is an engaging work that mainly traces Takagi’s close relationship with Tsuchimoto Noriaki in producing Minamata series, and it amply incorporates interviews with Ishimure Michiko, Higashi Yōichi, Tsuchimoto and many others.<br><br><br>Sincerely,<br>Takuya<br><br>— ---<br>Takuya TSUNODA<br>Lecturer<br>Department of Cinema and Media Studies<br>The University of Chicago<br>Classics 314A<br>1010 E. 59th Street<br>Chicago, IL 60637<br><a href="mailto:tsunoda@uchicago.edu">tsunoda@uchicago.edu</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 7:52 AM, Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kinejapan@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank">kinejapan@lists.osu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Dear all, </div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Japanese media is reporting that producer Takagi Ryūtarō (</span>Minamata: The Victims and Their World, The Shiranui Sea) <span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">has passed away at the age of 84. </span></div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Matteo Boscarol<br></span><div><div style="line-height:24px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">ボスカロル マッテオ</span></div><div style="line-height:24px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">記憶ただ陽炎のゆらめき</span></div><div style="line-height:24px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">- Documentary in Japan and Asia</span></div><div style="line-height:24px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__storiadocgiappone.wordpress.com&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=11thoz7pfGUssbHStuIGZFGsM7voaIEtYSUcGrFITgw&s=bO1TExpRHtAfxY9vYncJwFJLfMoNlC4A68PCo4WGzUQ&e=" target="_blank">http://storiadocgiappone.<wbr>wordpress.com</a></span></div><div style="line-height:24px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">- Sonatine2010</span></div></div><div style="line-height:24px"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.sonatine2010.blogspot.jp_&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=11thoz7pfGUssbHStuIGZFGsM7voaIEtYSUcGrFITgw&s=UiBvfOEXtc1yGHp_yTqr7QvWXhFLVSCZGjsSK-1oa_c&e=" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">http://www.sonatine2010.<wbr>blogspot.jp</font></a></div><div style="line-height:24px"><br></div><div style="line-height:24px"><br></div><div><span style="line-height:24px;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"></span></div></div></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
