Kanesaka's Hop Scotch

[Bernardi-Buralli]

I have a little info on Richie's films that might be helpful: in 1989 (22-24
December), the Sogetsu Cinemateque held a retrospective of his films,
"Donald Richie shi no eizo koten/The Films of Donald Richie". This was a
selection of 11 of his films, and Richie was present to play piano
accompaniment. It was an interesting experience. WARGAMES (SENSOGOKKO, 1962,
20 min.) is listed in the program, but not VOYEUR VIRTUOSO. let me know if
you'd like me to make a copy of the program for you (and where to send
it)--it has commentary on all the films. Kawakita Memorial Film Library,
Image Forum, Firumu aatosha and Sutansu Company contributed to the
realization of the program. Contact info for Sogetsu Cinemateque (as listed
in 1989 program, which includes a filmography for RIchie):
