Japanese Films in archives?

[J.sharp]

I am not sure if this is the question you are asking, but the British Film
Institute archive in London has a print of Kinugasa's A PAGE OF MADNESS, and
his subsequent attempt at bringing a European avant-garde style to Japanese
cinema, the  German Expressionism influenced (and more interesting in my
opinion) CROSSROADS (JUJIRO).

Early Japanese animation is in the Japanese National Film Archive, but they
are very selective about who they let see anything.

Best,

Jasper Sharp
