<p class="ydp950dd0b4MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">Thanks, Matteo and Markus. I only wish I could get to some of these. </p>
<p class="ydp950dd0b4MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">With regard to non-canonical programming, I was particularly intrigued to
see that, for Tsuchimoto, they’d chosen his Siberian film, <span style="font-family:MS Mincho;mso-fareast-language:JA" lang="JA">シベリヤ人の世界</span>, at
prog. 16. The Courtisane book from last year. ‘Of Sea and Soil’ had Tsuchimoto’s
essay <i>“Can I Eat, Die and Love There?”</i> about his travails in making it.
It sounded from that like a lost film but now I get it, thanks to the excellent
YIDFF archive – this was reprinted from the their ’93 catalogue where it was
getting its first outing since the making.</p>
<p class="ydp950dd0b4MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">Another thing that is still canonical, however, is Ogawa’s birth year,
which is still listed as 1935, despite your best efforts, Markus.</p>

One is sidestepping Minamata and Sanrizuka to pose dam construction as a through line in Japanese documentary history. I thought that was very interesting. One of the pleasures of this series is seeing the choices for the canonical directors. In many cases, they are not the works that are most popular or best known, but rather the best overlooked films by the best directors. It feels like a productive intervention; programming is, after all, the writing of film history at a fundamental level.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div> In any case, these films are hard to see and the selection is well-rounded, eye-opening and fantastic.
