Japanese shorts (Q)

[Livia Monnet]

Asako,would it be possible to have a copy of the booklet/catalogue of
documentary films and videos you compiled.We are also preparing a festival
here in the  fall and would really appreciate the input in your
compilation,especially since most of the documentaries you are listing,I
assume,are not available overseas.It goes without saying that I will cover
the costs of the package,and whatever else it takes,cost of the booklet
etc.Thanks in advance. LM  At 00:34 00-03-20 +0900, you wrote:
