<p class="ydp6e6cba37MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">You surprise me Jasper.</p>
<p class="ydp6e6cba37MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">I thought that screening in September ‘17 at King’s College, London was
from the BFI 35mm print (after some repairs) ? As you said on the panel, it had been projected to at
the wrong speed (24fps) - to fit in with the musicians’ plan. Anyway, after
that screening I checked with BFI’s silent curator, Bryony Dixon as to whether,
in principle, their print could be projected at slower speed without the sound,
and she said ‘yes’. I sincerely hope someone does.</p>
<p class="ydp6e6cba37MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">For completeness (although the <i>Flicker Alley</i> Blu-ray is
multi-region), one could mention that there is also a recent DVD from <i>Lobster
Films</i> in Paris. Although it comes out at 69 minutes, it is clearly from the
same capture as the <i>Flicker Alley</i> Blu-ray (71 minutes at 20fps), even
with the same sound-track of music by Alloy Orchestra, and the same english
subtitling of the opening credits (french can be switched on, but given the
absence of intertitles in this film, this is neither here nor there). So it is
likely that Lobster do not have their own print (although you could check). It
has different extras to the Flicker Alley disc and these are sourced from their
own prints, including L’Araignée (= The Spider), 1913. The opening title on
this print says<span> <span lang="FR">‘Mimodrame
japonais, joué par les artistes du Théâtre Impérial de Tokio dans la campagne
d’Yedo. </span></span><i>Eclair</i>.’ <span> </span>Serge Bromberg of Lobster has confirmed that ‘<span>The film was obviously shot in the Bois de
Vincennes, near Paris, where Pathé had his laboratories.</span>’ <span>Pathé duly picked up the ‘Imperial Theatre’
tag in its catalogue, but I think Hiroshi Komatsu would allow me to repeat from
his email that ‘They are absolutely not the actors of the Imperial Theatre.
They are one of the theatrical groups active in France at that time. As far as
I remember, Mr. Kawaura's troupe.’.</span></p>
<p class="ydp6e6cba37MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;tab-stops:162.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none"><span>So I
am shocked - <u>shocked</u> - to learn that film promoters in Paris in 1913 did
not necessarily tell the pure truth.</span></p>

They do have a very good 35mm print of JUJIRO, Kinugasa's much lesser known and seldom screened other "experimental" film, which to my mind is far better, although I know I am in a minority here.</div>

<br clear="none">
The NFAJ treats the film as still under the provenance of Kinugasa’s family, but it’s debatable whether those constitute any rights. The NFAJ is renting out their print again, after many years of not doing so, so if you want the best print, contact the NFAJ.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Otherwise, the Eastman House and the BFI prints are both supposed to be pretty good. I’ve seen the Eastman House one several times.<br clear="none">

If you just want to show the Blu-Ray, you can contact Flicker Alley. That’s what we did for our screening at Haremame.<br clear="none">
