naomi kawase

[Jeffrey Isaacs]

Film screening at Japan Foundation in Kyoto? Does that ever happen in
Tokyo? I have assumed that the Japan Foundation is under some obligation
not to show the films from its wonderful collection inside Japan. Is that
mistaken? Or perhaps the Kawase/Sento (how was she billed in Kyoto?)
screening was done under special circumstances?
