contacting them on their Facebook page to get some more information, but I haven't heard back yet. I was wondering if any of you had any particular advice for how to go about accessing films from their archive?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:rgb(65,65,65)">I was recently in Fukuoka and visited the Fukuoka City Public Library Movie Hall, Cine-La. The library movie hall has a 242 seat cinema
that runs monthly programs of Japanese and world cinema. The January program was curated according to the theme of people and nature. I've included some links below. The library has a film archive and film collections of local and international cinema. I
managed to see a screening of Imamura Shohei’s Narayama Bushiko and also Ogawa Shinsuke’s 223-minute film, 1000-nen kizami no hidokei: Maginomura monogatari (1987), which was one of the most remarkable cinematic experiences I’ve had in a while. On January
20th there was a full day screening of Hara Kazuo’s Minamata Mandara (2021) in three parts, which concluded with a talk by Hara himself. Unfortunately, I had to leave after the screening of the first part of the 372-minute documentary, but what I saw of it
was enthralling and, like Ogawa’s film, challenges one’s understanding of cinema and duration. Some people might find it difficult to adjust to any film that goes beyond the usual 90 -120 minute conventional cinematic viewing experience. Anyway, I’m not
sure to what extent the Movie Hall is of benefit to researchers, but the monthly film schedule is interesting and at only 500 yen per film, it is worth the visit when in Fukuoka. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
