<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hopefully everyone is well. I’m writing to ask if anyone is planning Kinema Club events next year (and if so, when). The reason is that Yuka Kanno and I are planning an event in Kyoto in early August (a hot
time of year, we know…) – more on the theme and format soon. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The other is that with Nippon Connection’s 25<sup>th</sup> edition is coming up next year (May 27-June 1), and I thought it would be a good opportunity for a more informal “future of the field / what is everyone
working on right now” kind of workshop – with of course the opportunity to catch up on film from Japan and meet some of the (if it is anything like last year) well over 100 filmmakers from Japan in attendance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">However, two Kinema Clubs in a year is a lot and these KC’s shouldn’t monopolize the year or intrude on others’ plans. Is anyone else planning something, either at these times or otherwise? It would be great
to coordinate!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
