Thank you from my side as well for letting us know, Alex. Roger was indeed one-of-a-kind, and a deeply valuable member of the Kinejapan orbit. Fully agreed that his many contributions at conferences, in post-film Q&As, and on KineJapan could sometimes (definitely
not always!) be eccentric or even infuriating, but they always came from a place of deep knowledge and sense of stakes in cinema. He was a much too exceptional presence - a real citizen-researcher who gave a lot and introduced important perspectives to conversations
too often only held between academic specialists. </div>

I still remember how I once (at Nippon Connection) promised to grab a ticket for him at the German Film Museum, as he knew he would only arrive close to the screening; due to problems with preparing the projection I had rush down to the theater, and couldn’t
notify the box office. Though we easily obtained a ticket for him in time, I will never forget the look on his face when he arrived at the theater, sought me out and asked for his ticket, and I had to tell him I hadn’t had time to snag one yet: Deep disappointment,
not a small nuance of reproach, and even more worry if he would be able to see the film. I don’t think he ever forgave me, and above all it showed to me how much film and discussing it - film as a medium of connecting with others - meant to him. I will miss
him and that rare level of commitment.</div>

<p dir="ltr" class="ydpb802cb1cyahoo-style-wrap"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Thank you, Alex, for sharing this sad news with the group.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" class="ydpb802cb1cyahoo-style-wrap"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I had the pleasure of knowing Roger over several years in London, where we shared many screenings, conferences, and
travels, as well as film and book club meetings at The Japan Society. He was a truly enthusiastic and committed cinephile, and it was always refreshing to talk with him about Japanese cinema as Earl mentioned.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" class="ydpb802cb1cyahoo-style-wrap"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">By coincidence, we lived quite close to each other and often met in the neighbourhood, frequently chatting about our
childcare duties—especially his care for his grandchild. I hadn’t seen him for a while and wondered if he might have been in Japan.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" class="ydpb802cb1cyahoo-style-wrap"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I’m very sorry and shocked to hear of his passing. He will be missed.<br>
May he rest in peace.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" class="ydpb802cb1cyahoo-style-wrap"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Warm regards,</span></p>
