As further penance, I wonder if Mr Geddes would mind posting a brief
analysis of what went wrong with Golden Harvest's experiment to
establish an Asian repertory cinema in Toronto several years ago, which
included screenings of old Japanese films. I think the intention was to
roll out similar cinemas across North America if the experiment was
successful. Mr Geddes was the manager, brought in for his knowledge of
what Westerners want from Asian film having published a fanzine on Asian
film. I should stress that I'm by no means suggesting that any fault
lies with Mr Geddes, as the project was probably doomed from the start.
But it does represent a pretty unique experiment in Asian film
exhibition history and I'd love to hear Mr Geddes experiences.
