Dear Earl,<br>
<br>
Here are a few recommendations:<br>
<br>
15<br>
I?m dying to see the first two. ?????? is a must see?the 35mm PR film at<br>
its apex.<br>
<br>
18<br>
Higashi?s Okinawa film.<br>
<br>
22<br>
If you haven?t seen Matsumoto?s early short docs.<br>
<br>
24<br>
????? ???<br>
Probably the most important ethnographic film in Japan (it?s this or<br>
Himeda?s wedding film). Director Himeda was at the center of<br>
anthropological doc in the postwar. Warning: it?s fairly conventional with<br>
an emphasis on process, so you might be disappointed.<br>
<br>
29 NDU<br>
???????<br>
BTW, YIDFF has a great catalog connected to this outfit.<br>
<br>
There you go.<br>
<br>
M<br>
