I just talked to Im Cheol-min, and he's extremely thankful to you for advertising East Asian films at the AAFF, including his own, to the KineJapan members. As you know, his visit to the U of Michigan was unfortunately cancelled as the outbreak of COVID-19 does not show any sign of abating. Cheol-min nonetheless expressed his delightedness as his film was successfully introduced to the general audience through online streaming. Hopefully, we'll be able to invite him again to Ann Arbor in the near future.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Ungsan.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 25, 2020 at 11:41 AM Markus Nornes via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu" target="_blank">kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,".SFNSText-Regular",sans-serif;color:rgb(28,30,33);font-size:14px">Ann Arbor is locked down, but the festival goes on via Vimeo streaming.
